Overheard in a Wal-Mart Parking Lot

Man (lifting a goose out of a car's passenger seat): Here we are!

Goose (looking around, confused): Here we are -- where?

Man: Here we are to get your stereo!!

Goose: Where?

Man: Here! Wal-Mart!

Goose: I don't want a stereo from Wal-Mart!!

Man: Huh?














Goose:
I picked out my stereo like you suggested, and we are not going to find it anywhere near a Wal-Mart!!!!!!!!

Man: Ok. Why don't you fill me in then?

Goose: Well, I posted a question on Audioholics.com about the best system for a barn....

Man: You gotta be kidding me! Did you say you were a goose?

Goose: Of course not! What difference does it make? Do you say you're a vegetarian when you're posting a question to the Mac Owners Support Group?

Man: Ok, fine. And what kind of response did you get?

Goose: Very helpful!!! I think I'm just about ready to order a system.

Man: Order? Can't we just go get it?

Goose: Well, actually the speakers need to be special ordered, because they are custom-made.

(To two women passing:)
Hi ladies!!!! Looking good today!!!!

Woman #1: Oh my God, aren't you cute!!!!!

Goose (wriggling tail feathers): Not as cute as you in that red dress!!

Woman #2: Hahaha! Shake your tail feathers again! That is so sweet!

Man (interrupting): Excuse me!!! Excuse me!!! We're having a personal conversation here! Do you mind?

(To goose): Ok, tell me about these custom-made speakers.

Goose: Altec Lansings. A7's. Really sweet!!!!!

Man: Great. And how much are these A7's?

Goose: 58.

Man: 58?? 58 what?

Goose: 58 hundred.

Man: Whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA!! $5800????

Goose: Per speaker.

Man: Let me get this straight. You want to buy $12,000 speakers for your 3 Coldplay CD's???

Goose: I have 5 Coldplay CD's!!

Man: Let me make a suggestion. Since we're here, let's pick something up for you to try out. And if you don't like it, we can return it and look for a better alternative.

Goose: I am not getting a stereo from Wal-Mart. Only small children have stereos from Wal-Mart and I have very sensitive ears!!!!!!!!!!!

Man: So we are getting nothing here?

Goose: That's right.

Man: Ok. That's your decision. Do you want to do anything else this afternoon? Should we go to the lake and drop the kayak in for a while?

Goose: That sounds good!!!

Man (picking up goose and putting him back into the passenger seat): It does, doesn't it? Let's get out of here.

Be kind to 00F, Bos. Apparently there's a lot you need to teach him, but he is trying.

What kind of music does Woglinde like? You'll have to share the stereo, you know.

Hey Boswell,
You need a Bose Wave Radio. Sounds like an expensive set but only $500. What a deal. This would be a good compromise between you and 00F. Ask him. I'm sure he'll be open to this suggestion.

Hi Boswell,

Hope this email finds you in good health (really concerned hope you just convinced 007 to take you to the South of France for the summer). I must admit I am slightly confounded as to why you are jonesiong after a stero system. I would suggest you request multimedia center or a really sweet new laptop (hint if give your old laptop to Wooglinde you would look really generous and is it really fair that Woodline does not have her own laptop?) But on a multimedia center or laptop not only could you listen to your Coldplay CDs (you would still need those really sweet A7s so you could listen anywhere in the barn though) but you could also watch ColdPay videos, something you can not enjoy on a mere stero system. BTW can we keep this conversation strictly between us as my equine would disown me if he knew I was speaking with a goose (he is not a fan of geese).

P.S. While I hope this is never the case should you ever need a specialist at Univ of Penn you have a place to crash ok.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Your loyal reader,

EAB

Hey Boswell, where have you been? Hope you're doing and feeling well.
Maybe you have been too busy rocking out to your new stereo system to blog!
Your friend, Lenny
