Farmer H has had no problem with eating some form of ham for supper every night since Thanksgiving. He loves ham. Now it's almost the weekend again, and I have put off the weekly errand day because of the frigid temperatures. I asked Farmer H if there is anything he wants from the store.
"No. Not really. Nothing I can think of."
"You never think of anything. Until the day after I do the shopping. You're out of the little sandwiches you take to your store for lunch. Do you want the cheeseburgers, or the chicken, or the Buffalo chicken, or the sausage patties?"
"I like them all. It don't really matter. But I wonder if you could find some Hot Pockets."
"I'm sure I can find them. But they're not on the 5-for-$25 deal."
"They can't be THAT expensive."
"Everything I buy at Country Mart is about $2 more than what I could get it for at 10Box. I'm pretty sure 10Box and Save A Lot also have Hot Pockets. But I'll get you some tomorrow at Country Mart. Just this once! What kind do you want?"
"I think they have pepperoni. Or ham. I like both."
"Okay. I'll look."
"I have trouble eating my lunch. I'll warm it in the microwave, but then a customer comes in, and I don't get to eat it. And I always forget the chips, because there are people coming in. My buddy said I need to go out to the truck for 30 minutes, just to get a lunch break. Or lock the door."
"Yeah. You could lock the door, with a sign that says what time you'll be back."
"I could do that. Or I won't get a chance to eat some days."
We all know that Farmer H is not a logical thinker. At least he has people telling him how to eat lunch.
