Yesterday I went to the supermarket.  It was one of those places where they
run the item over the sensor, and the name of the product (sometimes
abbreviated) and its price show on a little screen.  I bought a brand of apple
juice curiously enough called Thank You, and when they rang it up, the screen
showed:
                THANK YOU JC

I didn't know stores were permitting religious advertisements.  Then again, a
few weeks before, a can of Hawaiian Punch was recorded as:
                HAWAIIAN PUN

I commented that I didn't know aloha form of humor.  Of course, the biggest
joke in the supermarket was the National Enquirer headline:

                I CAN'T LIVE ON $44,600 A MONTH:  JOANNA
What could she possibly spend it on (assuming she doesn't maintain a USENET
site :-) )?  Send essays on "What I could do with $44,600 a month" to:
