One day, a guy walked into the Publix in Easley, South Carolina. He was a 40 ish year old, pretty smart, but sometimes could act completely stupid... like today.
The man entered Publix whilst it was raining feriously outside. He decided to shop for his groceries while he waited for the rain to die down outside. He shopped for an hour, and he got ready to check out. He went to the registers up front. He noticed it was still raining. Not so bad as before, but it was still raining none the less.
So, he put his stuff on the register anyway and started to check out. The bagger asked a simple question:
"Paper or plastic?"
The man just stared at the bagger, like he didn't hear the question. The bagger looked back at the man, wondering if the man heard him. Finally, after about seven second of awkward silence, the man said:
"Paper."
The bagger looked at the man with a weird expression on his face.
"Sir," the bagger said, "it's raining outside, and if you take paper bags they will tear in the rain water."
The man looked at the bagger for a second, then said:
"No they won't."
The bagger looked straight back.
"Yes they will, sir," the bagger said.
"No they won't," the man said.
The bagger gave up. He just did what the man wanted and put his items in paper bags. The man paid, took his few bags, and headed outside. The bagger, who was curious as to what would happen, looked out the big window at the front of the store. The man ran outside into the rain, which had started up again. His car was a few yards away deep in the parking lot. The bagger kept watching, and after the man had been in the rain for fifteen seconds...
one of the paper bags tore in the rain.
And there went the man's eggs.
The bagger just laughed.

Wasn't that a funny story? A little background...
my older brother works at our local Publix, and stories like these are true accounts of stuff he has seen take place. In fact, in this story, my brother was the bagger. He told me this actually happened about two weeks ago(it's still hard to believe). He has got alot of interesting stories, so if you guys are interested, Ill get him to tell me more and Ill post them right here.
