Rambler is successful in 'two minute marathon
Ladies and gentlemen, We're gathered here at the
local Knechtel store for the feature race of the morn-
ing. •
The Rambler has two minutes to shop and basket
$500 in groceries.
She appears a little apprehensive as she paces at
the front of the store. We'll see if we can have a few
begins with her before she beg s her mammoth race.
"Excuse me, Rambler. How are you feeling this
morning?"
'7'm keen. 1 was .up early this morning. Did my
stretching exercises,pumped a' little iron, had my
intake of caffeine and I'm ready."...
"And what area of the grocery, store will you Con-
centrate on?"
"Well, I'm going straight for the meat. I'm going' tO
Toad up on roasts, steaks, chicken and pork chops. If I
have any time left, I'll beat it down the aisle and grab
some lJde and toilet tissue; I'll follow that up with
some blocks of cheese and frozen berries.'' '
"1 notice you have a.rather old pair of shoes and
jeans on, Rambler,"
.-%'•r%i c%''4:;?h ','rr,..c :o- ;iib`%s#'
"Yup. These are shoes nurses .wear, so they have a
real good grip. I don't want to do any nose dives as I
race around this store. My jeans are not too tight to
be confining, and how do you like this great Knechtel
t -shirt Kathy and Brian gave -me, Should bring me
good luck!"
Okay, folks, Brian is asking everyone to clear the
aisles. And she's off. The meat is flying wow she
filled one basket. She's off and running, her feet grip-
ping the floor - she always knew those size 11 s would
come- in handy for something: She's whipping the
Tide and toilet tissue in.another basket.
Another quick jaunt - to the cheese. Oh, oh, a loud
groan, as she attempts to pick up too many blocks of

cheese. She's a whirlwind of white and blue as she
sprints to the frozen fruit section, Look' at those
berries fly!
"Brian,.howmuch time left," she's yelling. She has, ,
one minute left. Oh, no she failed to plan. She's runes
nin&in circles, grabbing cat food, fabric softener,
dish soap, a few personals, coffee. She's breathing
re hard - will she make the two minutes.
pretty mt
Yes, she did it and left two baskets of items for the
staff to "put back on the shelves.
She'sleaving the store now. She appears to have .
caught her breath, and no doubt visions of bbq t -bone
are dancing in her head.

"This was part of my exciting news T referred to last
week. A couple of days later, 'a ticket held by Tom,
Phyllis and myself was the lucky one pulled for the,,
$500 early bird draw in the "Another Way to Play." . .
'.Of course, they all. thought :1 was on a winning .
streak and kept throwing ,their monies at me to buy
lottery tickets. We're still working, need I say .more!:
