Odds Are Three Billion To One

The odds of going to a grocery store for a loaf of bread And coming out with just that, you'd be severely misled Odds are three billion to one Your basket will be overrun With a myriad of other mouth watering items instead

That is so true, I can never make it out of the grocery store with just my intended target.

Not if your money is severely limited... Then you come home with dreams AND the bread... Or go to the local food pantry for the bread... Think you've reminded me that... I gotta start volunteering more... to help the poor... Usually I send the Trolls... But I need to be good too...
