Today, I went to the store to buy several things. At the checkout, my box of tampons did not have a price tag on it. The checker got on the intercom and boomed, “PRICE CHECK ON ISLE 7, TAMPAX.” The employee checking the price misheard the checker, mistaking the word ‘tampax’ for the word ‘thumbtacks.’ He came back on the intercom with: “DO YOU WANT THE KIND YOU PUSH IN WITH YOUR THUMB OR THE KIND YOU POUND IN WITH A HAMMER?” I laughed for ten minutes.
