Once I was standing in line at the QFC in Wallingford that used to be Food Giant at about 2:00 in the morning and the guy in front of me in line had three items on the conveyor belt:
1 cucumber
1 box of condoms
1 tube of KY jelly
The cashier and I made eyed contact and just held it. She bit her lip and stared at me all the way through the transaction, then we just stood there until the guy was out the door and burst out laughing as soon as he was gone.
When I worked for a grocery store, we would occasionally send employees to other stores to test whether or not the cashiers carded people for alcohol. So it was a big game for all of us involved to get the most disturbing set of items possible and keep a straight face.
Butternut Squashes are the best.

On a more wholesome note: Several years ago I was at a bowling alley, and the guy at the counter was hunched over a piece of paper, drawing up a grocery list. He seemed to be taking it very seriously. I looked at the list, and he had written the following items:
that looks like my grandmother's handwriting. ew.
Looks a lot like my shopping list. Except mine also has "milk," "ground beef," and "Diet DP," and "beer" is the first item on the list.

Clean, drunk and screwed.
That's the funniest damn thing I've ever written -- wait, I mean "seen."
KY sucks ass.
Add 'rubber tubes' and 'diapers' to this list and I'd be slightly concerned.
To buy KY and champagne with no Advil would be a fool's errand.

The last two items are reversed. Otherwise, excellent work.
B+

Damnit, I forgot the dish soap.
Now that's a Saturday night.

MEAT
POTATOES
I have a friend who goes to the supermarket every halloween eve and buys a bag of apples and a box of razor blades.

That's awesome.
That is awesome!
They forgot the illegal fireworks, porn, and bottle of Old Harper.
Is the Advil before the champagne is consumed, or after?
Fella could have a pretty good time in Vegas with all that stuff.
@20:
They'd have an even better time if nylon stockings, chewing gum, and a combination English-Russian phrasebook and miniature Bible were on the list...
Damn--only ONE SYLLABLE short of a Haiku...
@22: Add 'milk.'
Kentucky?
Shopping list:
can of whipped cream
lawn chair
bottle of douche
sausage links
garden hose
jar of honey
