Down and Dirty

Somehow while hanging in the bulk closet during my aisle days, the topic of KY products came up in a discussion btwn myself, Princess Brooklyn, and Gurt. At one point Princess meant to say KY warming jelly but said KY Mouthwash. We chuckled at the thought and then she went into her advertising voice, "KY Mouthwash, for people who spit and don't like the taste." KY, get crackin' on that.

Gurt Turns a Phrase

Back in my market days, I was helping Gurt out in the dairy cooler. He always had the greatest way of saying something so common yet so strangely uncommon and cracking me the hell up. This day he went to lift six plastic wrapped sour cream containers, two of which had cracked open and leaked all over the other four. Gurt grabbed it by the top and dropped it into his other hand, thus realizing that breakage had occurred, and said, "Uh! Felt like a dirty diaper." Best description of anything I've ever heard.

Gurt Takes A Call

"Dairy pick up on line one. Dairy, line one."
"Dairy Department, Gurt speaking, how can I help you?"
"Yeah, dya have Homo-Genocide milk?"
long, long pause..."Uh......ho-mogenized?"
