    Banned from Wal-Mart

    DON'T TAKE ME IF I DON'T WANT TO GO----

    After Mr. and Mrs. Fenton retired, Mrs. Fenton insisted her husband accompany her on her trips to Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, Mr. Fenton was like most men-he found shopping boring and preferred to get in, and get out.

    Equally unfortunately, Mrs .Fenton was like most women, she loved to browse. One day Mrs. Fenton received the following letter from the local Wal-Mart.

    Dear Mrs. Fenton,

    Over the past six months, your husband has been causing quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and may be forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against Mr. Fenton are listed below and are documented by our surveillance cameras.

    1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they weren't looking.

    2. July 2: Set all alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

    3. July 7: Made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.

    4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3in Housewares--Get on it right away!'

    5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&M's on
    layaway.

    6. September 14: Moved a 'CAUTION-WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

    7. September 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told other shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department.

    8. September 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed,"Why can't you people just leave me alone?"

    9. October 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

    10. November 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were.

    11. December 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the Mission Impossible' theme.

    12. December 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

    13. December 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME, PICK ME'

    14. December 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

    and last, but not least---

    15. December 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly,'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here!'

    Regards,

    Wal-Mart

        Not even close. Affordable automobiles was what killed the little guy. Until the automobile came along, independent businessmen brought their wagons or trucks down the streets selling ice, meat, produce, etc. What you couldn't get from them was at a corner grocery store - there was always one within a couple of blocks at most. There were dry goods stores in every neighborhood where you could pick up simple supplies, from cloth to hardware to books - or most any other basic item.

        When everybody started having automobiles it killed the livelihoods of almost every one those business people. People had to go to Main Street to do their shopping. It was Main Street that really killed little business guys.
        “Maybe you shouldn't dress like that.”

        “This is a blouse and skirt. I don't know what you're talking about.”

        “You shouldn't wear that body.”

          Not to hijack the original point of the thread or anything (funny joke btw ) but I don't think this is a bad thing. I'd rather have a one stop supercenter open 24/7/365 with cheaper prices and better return policies, than a Mom and Pop store where I can only get one thing on my list, open 9 to 5 monday through saturday, closed on even the pseudoholidays. Can't blame the winner for his success.

            Just hope I'm still around when the big giant comes crashing down.
