Personal Note: Overheard at the Market

[nebroadwe]

I was buying raspberries at the market this morning when the following announcement interrupted the muzak:

If there is a professional corn-shucker in the store, please report to produce. Professional corn-shucker, please report to produce. Thank you.

And then we were back to random pop hits of the eighties and nineties. I lingered by the root vegetables for a few minutes, but if there were a cereal emergency in progress, it was too subtle for me to perceive. Hmm.
