At Walmart's yesterday I bought a pair of socks for $19.51. So I said to the cashier who was checking me, "Hey, '1951'--that's the year Harry Truman fired General MacArthur."
The cashier looked at me with a blank stare, so I had to explain to her all about Truman and MacArthur and the Korean War. Because I was in the express line with only the socks to pay, I had to give her the "Reader's Digest" condensed version about what I was talking, but she certainly didn't seem interested. Then, before I could even finish my commentary, the customers in line behind me became upset and began muttering, so I had to cut it even shorter.
Anyway, I'm not allowed in the express line at Walmart's anymore.
