you are in the wrong state
|
you are in the wrong state I smoke oh please. i'm a grown up so go tell it to someone else anyway, I was going to NH to buy cigarettes because you can save money (significant money) if you buy them there instead of my home state and my bff was driving. I was navigating with directions to the nearest cigarette handler across state lines. beautiful day, sunny, warm, not much traffic and then WHAM.....detour, detour....and off we go onto side roads with no signs and no phone reception and all the cars slow down and everyone starts to pull over in confusion. I spot a Dunks. i'm thrilled because an iced coffee seems like a splendid idea and maybe someone inside knows where we are. no ice. no iced coffee....no decaf coffee. no lemon donuts. how is this possible? and when I asked what town we are in, not a soul answers. so i broaden the scope and ask if we are in Massachusetts. Pointing fingers at us, the three counter attendants shriek in unison, "You're in the wrong state." like hyenas, their howls fill the air. and send us running. pleased of course that we have provided them with dining out material for the foreseeable future and just a wee bit terrified that they have all lost their minds. a few miles ahead, we happen across a cigarette mart, make our purchase and skedaddle back to saner climes. Here's my question, wtf was so funny? seriously. . You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

You have me where the hair is crisp. I have no idea what they were laughing at! Maybe you were in one of those gene pool backwaters where the family tree has no branches. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Definitely sounds like you were dealing with people that mightve had an extra chromosome or two. Inbreeding really does affect us all sometimes. Standards are people too.....kinda

back roads can always get you lost

I was afraid you were going to say you were in Canada!!!  Apparently ciggies are super cheap here in DE... in case you wanted to make a road trip or something!

Now you know how I felt when I first moved to Massachusetts.....

But, it is funny  My mother and her bff ended up near a large body of water on a dark, foggy night (many years ago). Her girlfriend yelled, "The ocean! The ocean!" Driving was so treacherous, they decided to stay put and sleep in the car. In the morning, they found out they were by Lake Erie.Her bff had just found out she was pregnant and FOB wanted nothing to do with the baby. We had to stay at my dad's, who threatened to put us in a home if she wasn't back by the day she said she would. Good times.

Those are the best kind of outings: adventure, laughter, goal attainment despite the odds, and a sense of relief when back on solid ground. Never ignore those who care for you you will have lost diamonds while you were collecting stones

No phone reception!  It's funny how we're so dependent on something that we didn't have 20 years ago. Actually, what you did (pull in someplace and see if they can tell you where TF you are) is what we would have done 20 years ago.

I feel this way when I drive more than 25 miles inland. I don't know what they found so funny but I sure would have had a fit of giggles and a good smoke on my way back to civilization. Don't tell, but GOD I miss smoking sometimes.

I smoked for a million years. I didn't like going to the local reservation but they were cheap. I stopped a few months ago. Now I use a vape mod. Now I don't like going to the vape shops for juice. I've tapered down from 24mg nicotine to 6mg. Maybe one day I won't have to go any place I don't like. Elevate me...
