He Did the Muenster Mash!
Jewel Chickenhammuenster. Expected to be yummy.
The editors have been presented a real life example of Murphy's Law. This weekend one of the editors was at Aldi purchasing consumables for a not-so-yummy lunch. The editors instructions specified that three shopping carts would be needed. Now, if you aren't familiar with Aldi, you might not know that the shopping carts require a quarter deposit. And you might not know that Aldi's are only open for limited hours during the day, usually starting at 9AM. To make a long story short, our editor found himself struggling mighty-edly as he tried to maneuver the shopping carts among the teeming masses, then wait in the single available checkout line (enduring laser-like stares from those in the line snaking behind him), then trying to fit all this stuff into his car, then being beset by a pack of kids asking him for seventy five cents (duh!).
Upon relaying this terrifying story to some people at the office, someone offered this blood-curdling reply: "Just be thankful it wasn't the first Saturday of the month!"
