You know those overhead signs in supermarkets that tell you what’s in which aisle? There are several variations, but I assume you know roughly what I’m talking about.<\/p>\n
Safeway, at least around here, has them arranged to list a category, and then three items in that category you’ll find on that side of that aisle, such as:<\/p>\n
DAIRY
\n ==
\nYogurt
\nEggs
\nButter<\/p>\n
or maybe<\/p>\n
DINNER
\n ==
\nPasta
\nSauces
\nCanned meats<\/p>\n
Well, tonight we stopped into a Safeway down in Washington to grab a couple of things, and Aisle 2’s left-hand sign read:<\/p>\n
BREAKFAST
\n ==
\nBeer
\nAnd
\nBeer<\/p>\n
I suppose there might be some innocent explanation, that they moved the beer there from somewhere else and didn’t bother to change the top line, but still…<\/p>\n
And that “and” just somehow makes it perfect; it’s not just beer, it’s beer and<\/i> beer.<\/p>\n
For breakfast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
