I pulled into the Kroger parking lot in an older, slightly beat up mini-van that was screaming Soccer Mom. As I pulled in I was listening to the radio tuned to 102.7 WEBN and blaring some ear-splitting hard rock. After quickly parking I jumped out in my best black suit. "Good afternoon!" I said politely to the gray haired woman who was loading groceries into the car beside me.
She looked at me with the same blank expression that cows look at passing cars. I think the three disparate elements (1. the van, 2. the music, and 3. the man in a suit), so different and following one after the other so quickly, were too much for her poor brain. I think I fried it.
I'm sure the whole thing was like some Rene Magritte painting come to life for her.
