The Supermarket Game

[vernon]

We used to play a game in Headingly with an Asian shop called Bobats when we were students. The challenge was to go intop the shop and ask for something that you didn't think he'd stock but the penalty was, if he had it you had to buy it. We rarely got the better of him. Battery acid - yes, a copy of the Jamaican Weekly gleaner - yes, smoked paprika - yes, whitworth spanners - "open ended or ring sir? - yes, radio alarm clock - LED or flick over numerals sir? - yes.

The git cost me a fortune!

A fish and a loaf of bread.

Shouldn't that be 5 loaves and two fish. Try it in the American "bible belt" and tell the cashier you're having a party.

Anyway...

...many years ago I used to get strange looks when buying Newsweek and Mad magazine at the same time. Sometimes it was a struggle to know which came closer to the truth of a given situation.

What's so unusual about that. There is only one use for long Rizlas.

Not that as a student I ever had a reputation for rolling a really good three skinner.
