Why 20 cans of spam you ask?

In response to my note at the bottom of my last post:

“It was an odd encounter, on an entirely otherwise normal Saturday. Unless of course you count the lady at Wal-Mart who bought 20 cans of span, 10 bags of bagels, 3 tubs of margarine, 5 economy size jars of salsa, and 2 huge containers of Rolaids.”

My friend LKB pondered how one could come up with this interesting combination of shopping purchases. Which led to this conversation she made up, that I could not help but share:

“what can we have for dinner when the power is out, honey?”
“let’s see what we can find at wal-mart!”
“hmm…how does eating 5 bagels coated with margarine and salsa and topped with 8 slices of spam sound?”
“why, that sounds scrumtious, darling!”
“let’s get it! …but what if we get heartburn afterwards, dear?”
“well, i hadn’t thought of that. perhaps we ought to pick up some rolaids for after, just in case.”
“what a wonderful thought, honey. that’s just why i married you!”
