Except mine also has "milk," "ground beef," and "Diet DP," and "beer" is the first item on the list.

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.

Add 'rubber tubes' and 'diapers' to this list and I'd be slightly concerned.

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.

He seemed to be taking it very seriously. I looked at the list, and he had written the following items:

MEAT
POTATOES
