Thread Name: BS: Strange combinations of merchandise
Subject: RE: BS: Strange combinations of merchandise
When I read the thread title I thought this might be about the speculation that I sometimes do in the grocery store checkout line. Associating everything in the cart. You know, when someone is buying such an odd array of items at once and when seeking some common ground for all of the items, you come up with some pretty bizarre conclusions. (Is it just me?)

It might be simple, like someone buying toothbrushes and Preparation-H, (eeeeww). Or you watch the conveyor move toward the clerk with what appears to be a full-course meal: steak, fresh asperagus, a nice red wine, potatoes, foil, a bouquet of flowers, a bag of charcoal, and along side this is a box of caustic pool chemicals or a heavy tinsnips. Know what I mean?
