I’ll bet he feels stupid now. I can see forgetting where you parked your car. Reporting it stolen, though? I can only wonder what the cop said to him, when he admitted it was only misplaced.

Most of those old rusted out conversion vans look alike, so it’s understandable if you can’t pick your own out in a parking lot full of them. It doesn’t help when the vehicles all have NASCAR bumper stickers, a half dozen “ribbon” stickers ranging in color from pink to camo, a Walmart Smiley Face antenna ball, cracked windshield, one side window replaced with duct tape and plastic, two spare tires strapped to the roof with bungee cords, and the front dash is crammed with old Hot Rod magazines, McDonald bags, pens, baby toys, cigarette boxes, parking tickets, gas shop receipts, greasy spark plugs, and a box of Twinkies.

Boy, Ber, for someone who “feels” as you do about Wal-Mart, you sure seem to know a lot about what happens in and around the place. What is that line about “me thinks thou does protest too much”……? (jus’ kiddin’)

I have to admit, I do shop at Wally World more often than I care to; it’s the closest shopping center to where I live. However; I am moving next month to a more elite area of my lovely city, so I will be frequenting Target a bit more often.

Yeah, you’re movin’ on up, to the Eas’side,
You finally got you’re piece of the pie.”

Did I mention it’s the “Ghetto Target”, not the “Country Club Target” I’m moving close to?

Is that the one where the logo says, “If you see da police, Warnna Brotha”?
