Real Life or The Onion? It’s Return Supermarket Shopping Cart Month?

Apparently the US Census Bureau recognizes Supermarket Shopping Cart month, so it’s real.

This raises three possibilities:

    1. The Census Bureau is overstaffed and unfocused.
    2. Everything in the world has a month dedicated to it.
    3. Life and The Onion have in fact converged.

    Has anybody ever measured the bacteria level in shopping carts? Of special concern is the little kid seat area where I used to put my produce until I thought about how many dirty-diaper assed kids had sat there.

    Here in London we call them “shopping trolleys” and if one has a bad tire we don’t say it’s “f**ked up”, we say “it has a wonky wheel.” And we also have the good sense not to dedicate a month to the bloody things.

    I’m a member of “The Aisle Two” club of people who have made love in a shopping cart. Nothing wonky about that.

    I suppose that it’s theoretically possible to have sex in a cart, but somebody’s ass is going to end up looking like the bottom of a Nike training shoe. Call it Bowerman’s revenge.

    The plight of the abandoned shopping cart has been taken to heart in at least two photo collections, one by Shawn Nee called Discarted, the other by BrewmasterJ310 entitled “carts in L.A.” …photo by Dan Hontz used with permission… h/t Independent Sources… [IMG]
