Years ago my neighbor Martha told me that she got into a kerfuffle with a cashier at our local grocery store when she had 13 items in the express line. Ultimately the store manager opened up a separate checkout for those 3 items, by the time she left the store the cashiers were yelling at her, she was yelling back at them, and she was afraid to shop there for 3 months.
The rest of the stuff I made up.
One thing I have learned during this pandemic is that this is my most requested funny song and I hadn't performed it in years. Why? Who knows. But here it is -- enjoy! And I'll ask you, too. Who would you like to see in this play? You can choose anyone dead or alive to create your dream cast.
