Preparing for Ike & the WU game:texan:
Ike is expected to hit Houston within the next 24-36 hours. So my wife sends me to the store to by emergency supplies. Along with the other frantic shoppers, I get only the essentials to survive: 12 D Batteries, 2 pallets of water, 2 half gallons of Blue Bell Ice Cream, 2 cases of beer, 4 OU koozies (yes, they sell OU koozies in Houston) and 3 twenty pound bags of cat litter. This is the dialog between me and the check out clerk:
Clerk: “Getting ready for the Hurricane?”
Me: “Yeh”
Clerk: “I see you’re an OU fan?”
Me: “BOOMER!”
Clerk: “Boomer who?”
Me: Somewhat pissed—“Yes, I’m an OU fan.”
Clerk: Trying to change the subject—“Do you have a Cat?”
Me: “No! (Toying with the clerk)
Clerk: Looks puzzled—“But you have all of those bags of litter.”
Me: “It’s for us in case the water goes out.”
Clerk: (By now the clerk looks horrified) “ Oh”
Me: (Here is where I lose it and start to breakup). “ Well my wife was against it at first, but she is very environmentally concerned, so when I told her we could put the residual on the strawberries, she agreed.”
Clerk: Is laughing uncontrollably—
ME: As I get my bags to leave, I look at her and say: “ SOONER!”
MORALE: NEVER **** A SOONER FAN OFF DURING A HURRICANE!
