Mid afternoon indigestion makes me sneak out to get Pepto-Bismol at the local drug store, so I ask the staff, does anyone want anything? We would like some gum and candy please(usually its Whoppers from Burger King, but suddenly they become 1st graders and want gum and candy)..gum and candy eh?..well what type of gum and candy?(knowing what picky bastards they are)..oh we don't know..just get whatever..no, tell me what you want..we want Wrigleys doublemint or spearmint..and the candy..mmm..whatever...how about some candy corn I suggest...mmm...ok.. they say. Off I go to the RX, along the way the blind rocking guy with boom box is belting the most powerful Star Spangled Banner I have ever heard, Its sounds better than most renditions you hear but occasionally there is weird tonality. Grabed two big bottles of the Pepto knockoff (it was $2.00 cheaper) and the gum for the team. This drug store is as big as an airplane hanger, three weeks before Halloween and not one big bag of candy corn in the whole place..amazing. Next stop speciality candy shop on way back, hardly any corn left, decide to balance out bag with "Halloween Novelties" and gummi vampire fangs. On arrival staff is pleased with their confectionary gifts and convince me to go home early..I agree being I don't feel much better..home I go to guzzle much pink liquid and rest. I think I feel a cold coming on..darn.
