In Which I Bomb Twice At Ralph’s.

People used to laugh when I said I wanted to be an actor. Well, no one’s laughing now. Wait.

I was in the produce section the other day approaching the green-leaf lettuce, when one just fell off the shelf into my hands. I turned to a couple next to me and said, “Did you see that? It’s a sign. Like the puppy in a litter that jumps into your lap.” They looked at me like I was nuts.

Then, as I checked out, the guy behind me put only Reese’s multipacks and burritos on the conveyor belt. I told him, “Hey, you bought my lunch!” Not even a smirk.

Thanks, folks. You’ve been great.
