I fear for humanity

[Vehn]

Doing a little 1am sunday Wal*Mart run, I finish up picking up what I came for and head to the cashier. There's clearly non-affluent couple in the line in front of me. Apparently they were a little overzealous in their budgetting, and had to go through and remove some items from their pile of 20 or so various things. They eventually returned about half of their things to their cart for restocking.

What was the one item that immediatly stood out to me?

This should be easy but it took my g/f 2 guesses.

A gun?

[youtalkfunny]

They passed on the diapers, and paid for the beer instead?

[andyfox]

The one item they kept, or the one item they returned?

If it's what they kept, I say either liquor or one of Sklansky's books.

[Vehn]

Returned i.e. decided that 1/2 of their items were more important than it.

[andyfox]

Then I vote for either condoms or sanitary napkins.

[John Cole]

A garden gnome? A Brittany Spears CD? Sean Hannity's book?

Vehn, I started to fear for humanity when you walked into Wal-Mart.

Toilet paper. Or milk.
