This seems rather odd....

Since it was such an important part of yesterday's entry and we are approaching that Summery time of year I thought I'd post this fine fruit salad recipe. I take this all the time when I'm invited over to the Jeffersons for a festive outing in the country.

"I'd like to buy a game to give my married niece, I know she likes to play games." " Also, it can't be anything that she could buy at K-Mart or Target or any thing like that, you don't sell games that they sell there, right?" "Yes, most of what we sell you won't be able to buy in large chains, let me pick out a few things you think she might like." "How about this game called Lost Adventure its our most popular two player game, it's about starting and completing jungle explorations to gain the highest point totals...everyone seems to like it quite alot, maybe its something she could play with her husband?" "She likes cards but is the game complicated?" "Her husband is a nice person, but he's not too bright and can't seem to carry on a conversation, that looks too hard for him, I don't think she married him for anything upstairs if you know what I mean." I start visibly laughing, she does too, so I know it's alright. "Well then how about this game, its called Halli Galli, its about making a fruit salad with different fruit cards and hitting this bell when you are completed, its supposedly alot of mad fun, its for 2-6 players and its for ages 6+. "Ohh...Halli Galli, I like the sound of that, so you use the cards to make fruit salad..how very fun sounding, so very Summery, they live in the country and I know that they like to eat fruit salad out there in the warm weather." "Do you think that the game will be too easy?" "No, it will be just perfect, given what you have told me about her husband I think it will be just right, besides when you sit down to play a game who wants to think, you just what to have fun!" "Right, right, one more thing, I know they have an Afro-American couple for friends that they may play this game with, you don't think this game will offend them will it?" "Sometimes you can't be so sure when you buy certain things that you may be offending a certain race or lifestyle..if you now what I mean." I start laughing again, almost fall to the floor laughing, she starts laughing too, almost falls with me, I realize I'm being unprofessional and get both of us up. Other customers are starting to wonder what the hubbub about, and also start smirking. "I think this game will be just fine, unless they have some type of fruit hang-ups, phobias, or issues above the average person..I think it will make the perfect Summery fruit salad card game with a bell that they can confidently play with their Afro-American friends...really" "Great, I'm sold, I'll buy it!"
