Thank you, Captain Obvious: A quickie, non-sucktastical sighting

[ContraCorriente]

I was in the freezer section of Wal-Mart the other night shopping with the pastor's wife (she actually heard all this, I didn't know about it.) We were there around eleven PM and she heard someone over the intercom say something about grocery stockers, go to so-and-so door, grab a pallet jack, blah blah. So there's pallets being wheeled around everywhere (it reminded me of a grocery store musical number) and boxes are being tossed out onto the side of the aisles. A couple have already begun stocking the frozen pizzas and as we're coming down the aisle, a woman passes us and says, "What are they doing, stocking or something? What's all these boxes for??"

Head, meet desk.

Argh, I hate it when people feel they have to state the obvious. -__- Remember a Saturday girl at the garden centre was master of the obvious; like, you'd walk into work soaking wet and she'd go "Is it raining?" X_x

About 20 years ago the back parking lot of the Rushmore Mall flooded. A sh*t load of rain + 2 drains for the entire parking lot = deep water. My sister worked up at the Mall and called Dad about the rising water and could he come up and check on Mom's car. So I hop in the truck with Dad, he didn't believe that there would be much water but whoa! the whole parking lot was a lake. I got to wade through the water to see how Mom's car was - it was flooded inside like most of the cars there.

I then went into the Mall to let my sister know the car was totaled, the insurance company writes off flood cars, I walked through the Mall and people are just staring at me. Okay, I'm 5'9" and I'm wet up to my arm pits, which might tell you how deep it was out there. You would think people would ask what happened. Nope, not one.

Plus get this, the Mall didn't even announce the back parking lot was flooding. There were a couple of cars out there that were low enough that only the roof was showing - no windows at all. The tv and newspapers didn't even report it. There had to be at least 50 cars flooded out and nothing at all reported. The tow trucks made out like bandits.

I wonder what Bill Engvall ("Here's Your Sign") would have told her

Nope, they were having a wet t-shirt contest in the parking lot and I won! Here's your sign.

Nope. A big bird flew overhead that had a kidney problem. Here's your sign
