The one good thing about working in the super market for as long as I did is that I have all these great stories that you just can't make up.

In the front corner of the store, where the entrance is, there's a cafe. One day, this rather large and unkempt looking man was sitting in the cafe. When I'm walking from the back room up toward the front of the store, I'm facing the cafe. So I'm walking up toward the front of the store and I see this man sitting there. And guess what. Yup. He had a hole in his pants not unlike the one in that picture AND his nut sack was hanging out.

It's one of those things that when you first see, you have all these conflicting feelings. You badly don't wanna see it, but you have to keep looking to make absolutely sure it is what you think it is. And yes, it turned out to really be his sack. I guess it was a warm day because it was hanging pretty good. In fact, I think it was only one nut that was hanging out.

Now what the fuck are you suppose to do? "Um, excuse me, sir? Um, your um... uh... balls are hanging out!" So I started telling employees and eventually the store manager came over. You could tell the store manager wanted to laugh but was trying to remain professional about it. And we're all talking about what to do. Do you tell him his balls are hanging out? You can't let him sit there like that and have customers see his balls. So the idea he came up with was to act like they were cleaning up the cafe area and in the process move some chairs around so that they're blocking view of his balls.

My questions is, how do you NOT know your balls are hanging out? I can understand not realizing you have a whole in your pants. I can understand wearing boxers and having drooping balls on a hot day. But I would think that if my balls were ever exposed I would know about it instantly. So, did he want every one to see his balls? Or is he just so fat that he couldn't tell for some reason? Like most of my super market stories, there's more questions than answers.

I've worn holes in pants and not cared, but I still had an underwear layer going on and if I knew I was wearing a ventilated pair, I did think about not purposely flashing people over the course of the day. Seem if one is going commando you'd notice a breeze. :?

We don't talk about retro games on this forum - if you haven't heard.

Copypasta I never bothered to verify

Apparently, for the longest time, some people pronounced "Sega" as "Sea-ga". This is due to the fact that in Italy, it was (and still is) pronounced "Sea-ga"; this is because in Italian, "Say-ga" is slang for the act of male masturbation.
So, by that logic, Sega Dreamcast is Italian for a nocturnal emission... Sega Saturn is Italian for masturbating with a cockring...

For those still in public school, do you still get paper book covers at the beginning of the year covered with PSAs and local business ads?

We always used paperbags, but grocery stores dont seem to have those anymore.

My school doesn't bother with them. I have a really cool Kirby paper book cover for superstar ultra hanging as a poster in my room, though.

You have to ask for 'em. Lowe's Foods, Harris Teeter, Kroger, Fresh Market, Trader Joes...they all have them.

What are these "books" you speak of?

My Kroger does not, I spoke to the manager about it.

As for the rest, my exit has a Kroger and a Food Lion, I wish we had a Trader Joes or Fresh Market or Publix or hell an A&P. Nothing against Kroger, but it is ALWAYS packed.
