whimsy at the grocery store

The old fart behind me in line had 5 cups of instant chili and 5 cans of green beans. He continuously hummed "The Battle Hymn of the Republic".

Live! Comedy! Direct from the Stoa!

Socrates: Wherefore did the young Spartan leave his polis?
Alcibiades: I know not, o Socrates.
Socrates: He didn't like the way he had been reared. Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.
