John flipped his wife’s shopping list and reached for the phone in his jacket. No charge.
He caught a nearby shopper.
“Excuse me, what are these,” he pointed to the list.
“Try the seafood counter,” was the reply.
Once there, John asked, “Do you have scal…?”
“Scallops?” the server interjected. “Half a pound? They’re pricey.”
John placed the package into his basket. “Where do I find this,” he showed the same man.
“Rubber scrapers in kitchen gadgets.”
“Thank you.”
When John arrived home, his wife unpacked the bags.
“I’m allergic to shellfish!” she shrilled. “Where are the scallions
and capers?”
