BOWLING BALLS AND SPEAR GUNS

I know my local grocery store just wants to make sure that I have found “everything” by asking if I have found everything.

But EVERY THING?

Sometimes I'll tell the cashier:

“No, I couldn't find the spear guns or bowling balls.”

Impertinent me.

They act surprised, and say, “Oh, we don't carry those.

I shouldn't complain.

Sometimes (though I don't remember when) I might have forgotten to get something, and their inquiry helped me.

IT'S ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES AND EVERYTHING
