Ordering Groceries On Line

And... I need 24 quarts of 2% milk; Okay, "6 gallons of milk!" No, sir, I want 24 quarts, it stays fresher that way! But lady we only have that in Silk. Then I want twenty four plastic containers, Will you pick them up all in blue; And then divide up those six gallons, Just like I want you to do. Well, I must ask my supervisor, For I am very confused, We don't usually offer that service, I must ask and get back to you. [I can put quarts up in my freezer; Those big gallons just don't fit. Then I can feed my kittens one at a time; It just takes a little bit. How many kittens do I have? I thought you would never ask. I have 48 on my property; I'm known of the lady of cats.

I love this one Sunlite. I see the shoppers in Walmart a lot. (Most of the time in the way!) I wondered what that would be like, and figured it would be something like that. I haven't seen this addressed before. New original and very funny in deed! Well done! (A FAV for me)

Hilarious! Here, we cannot call in to order!Grrr! I miss those days, even though at times, you bet. It was a hassle.)) I always worry for those folks with no PC or tablet. Some people do not want them which is their right. I prefer human contact, feels warm and cozy. Not a sin at all! Love, Panagiota

Enjoyed your surprise ending. Where there's more milk, you can always use more cats.

Too funny. This really made me giggle. I could see the man on the other end of the line trying to take this unreal order and be nice. Great job. God Bless, JB
