‘Trolley Trance’ II
Posted by Big John on January 17, 2007
Remember how a couple of weeks ago I reported how my local supermarket had been taken over by ‘zombies’ ?
Well today I was ambushed by one in the fruit and vegetable section, when I left my half full trolley (cart) in a quiet corner to avoid the usual gridlock, and went off to select my ‘five a day’, only to discover on my return that it was missing.
I looked up and down the aisles until I spied a shuffling creature with drooping eyelids slowly hiding my shopping under her selection of items in a trolley which had my large frozen food storage bag hanging from the handle.
OK, so anyone can make a mistake, as all loaded trollies tend to look alike, but how can you fail to notice as you walk along, that a bloody great bright green object …
… is banging against your knees ?

You left out the best part, John. How did you handle the situation???

Thanks John, I just read your comment to me on Trolley Trance I. Can’t stop laughing about being pardoned for being Californian and well, a group of guys wearing blue bandanas surrounding my car. . . were they good looking? Now that might make my old blood begin flowing with new young energy.
It is the middle of the night and I can’t sleep so I am catching up on blogs. I find I am much more silly and free thinking after midnight.

Ginnie – I held two bread sticks in front of my face in the form of a crucifix and politely asked the woman concerned if I could have my trolley back or would she prefer to give it to me after she had gone through the checkout ? It’s the first time I have seen the face of a zombie turn red.
Maria – I don’t remember too much about those ‘gang bangers’ except that they used the word ‘mother’ a lot.

Betcha anything she was hoping you’d never discover her and she’d be the proud new owner of that freezer bag.
LOVED your comment about my “royal” entry. So thanks.
