I almost forgot this, I went to the store today to buy a head of lettuce, I could not believe my tired old eyes!
The last time I bought lettuce it was 99 cents,
Today that price jumped a hundred and 29 percent to 2.29 . I hated to buy it but I really do like salad so I got my head of lettuce, marched up top the counter to the girl waiting for me. I placed my head of lettuce very gently on the counter, turned around and hollered, listen up everybody!(small town, small store everybody knows everyone else) everyone turned around to me must have been about 20 people there, I started clapping my hands, everyone looking at each other with that look, you know that look, yea that old injun finally lost his marbles kind of look, when I had all their total attention from the clapping, I told them, "I have good news to share with my neighbors". that really got their attention, thinking I was going to tell them where I buried my money at last. I said" listen up folks, I have just had a premonition that evidently our government was going to do the right thing by us with the illegal alien situation and deport them because, didn't they say, if we sent all the illegal aliens home the price of our lettuce would more then double"? I said, "here is the proof folks, yesterday lettuce 99cents, today it jumped to more then double that price, and I think we should all send our Senators a big thank you card for doing the right thing and sending them all home and letting us know all about it in such a unique way by the price of our veggies going up"! I told them,"better run on up to Mcalester to walmart and stock up on your avocados if you like them because that reporter man, Geraldo Rivera, said they would be costing us 4.00 a piece if we sent them packing". Nobody said nothing for about a minute, then I could see a few smiles breaking out, finally a few giggles from the women, then everyone laughing including the manager. I paid for my high priced lettuce, walked out of the store feeling better then I had for days even with the price of the lettuce, because it gave me such a good chance to break the ice, and let everyone know just how where I stood on the issue of illegal immigration, and I think it might have planted a few seeds in the minds of some of the people to check out this illegal invasion going on in our country! God surely does work in mysterious ways don't he?
