Jesus said, "Obey or I will kill you."( Luke 19:27) |
Today I made a purchase of the Brita 3 pack filter cartridge and a six-pack of toilet paper at RiteAid. I know a sales clerk there, who calls me when the toilet paper is delivered. Okay, this is how far I will go for Scotty toilet paper. But, then my credit card was declined... s*** on a shingle! I called the microscopic 888 number on the back of the card. There are no humans answering on the weekends. I entered the credit card number and my social and the three magic numbers on the back of the card. A recorded human voice told me I had enough in my balance to make the purchase. I tried the card again with a live cashier, "It won't run as a credit." I entered my secret pin, FU3Up. The pin ran. But, the cashier said it ran as a credit. I queried this since I had entered my secret pin, FU3Up. "Just take your receipt. Next!" the cashier sniped. I clung to my six-pack of Scotty TP as I crossed the parking lot to my dented, rusty van. "Hey! I'll give you $25 dollars for that toilet paper!" a rude man shouted from his shiny black F350 Ford pickup. "Nope." I stoically responded and hightailed it out of there. All this because of the Corona-virus. Toilet paper is a basic necessity and should be available to everyone. There have been mass hysteria over Eboli and Swine flu. But, no one went without toilet paper. Refelections~Jesus did not have toilet paper. Bob County |
