Sugar and spice and all things perverted

Posted by Fred Bloggs on March 7, 2010

Wandering around Waitrose with MA; we were checking off the items on our shopping list:
“Tea bags?” she asked
“Got them.”
“Sugar?”
“Two kilos granulated.”
“Mature cheddar?”
“One very expensive block.”
“Pasta penn?”
“Yup.”
“Minced beef?”
“Two packs and some pork chops.”
“Bleach?”
“Yes and the washing up liquid, loo rolls and washing tabs.”
“Root ginger?”
“Not yet, we need to make some choices…”
We went over to the fruit and veg section and found the fresh ginger. We stood looking at the ‘hands’.
“Do you think this one looks suitable? ” MA asked. She picked up a big piece with three fingers.
“No it does not look quite right, it needs to be more like this bit.” I offered a piece with four long fingers.
“Oh yes I see what you’re getting at.” She turned the root over in her hand. “We’ll go with this bit then.” and she put it in the trolley. As we turned to go to the checkout we noticed a lady patiently waiting to get to the spice section. She gave us a very odd look.
“Did you see that woman’s face?” MA asked.
“Yes! Once again I have perverted and corrupted you, only this time in public.”
