It’s a nice day for a quick walk outside on my work break. I stopped by @MyDollarGeneral (yes, they have a twitter acct) to purchase some post-halloween snackage and a woman shopping asked me where to find the soap.
‘I don’t know,’ I told her.
‘Oh,’ she said. ‘So, you don’t work here?’
‘No,’ I said.
I guess I’m still wearing my halloween costume. I look like I work at a Dollar General store.
I only have one beer left, which means:
