Yesterday I was picking up a few groceries over at C-Town (my kinda town) and I saw something funny. I was in line behind this guy who was carrying a really huge duffle bag and was purchasing many bars of soap. When it was all said and done he spent about $30 on a variety of soap. They were all sorts of brands and scents on display. The cashier rang it up without paying much notice but I have to admit that I was a bit entralled. Do you realize how much soap you can buy with $30? A lot more than you need in a week that's for damn sure. Then to top it off the guy paid with a hundred and asked for all tens back. The plot, as they say, thickened. I quickly paid for my purchase and headed out to the sidewalk hoping to catch a glimpse of where he was headed. By the time I got outside, the soap man was gone.
