just take the ham, lady

while we were out getting the groceries and various things for the family holiday party tomorrow, we stopped off to pick up the ham.  ham is essential in my opinion and i feel bad for people who don't eat it.  ham is good.  bacon is good.  and really, life is not worth living without pork products. 

sorry.  i digress.

we went to the honey ham place where they have to have a tent and ropes for people to line up and get their ham.  did i mention that there are police officers present.  who knew that getting ham at christmas needed to involve the police?  i even commented on it before we went it.

the place was packed and there was a lot of ham to be had.  homer simpson would have lost his mind.  as we are talking to the ham guy about how big of a ham i need, this woman goes storming out of the building followed by an emplyee telling her that "no" and "something, something, something" and the woman then responded with "an obscene comment" that i did not hear exactly but got the gist when i watched her say it.  did i mention that all transactions in the store stopped to watch this little incident?  well, they did.

so after it was over, the ham guy next to our ham guy said that he got chewed out the day before by a customer for no apparent reason.  to which i responded that i didn't understand since clearly there was more than enough ham to go around...  the people at the store were so jolly and nice (by product of being around delicious ham all the time, you are happy and fat and fat & happy).

upon leaving the store, i then understood why there needed to be three police cars at the ham place.  apparently, selling the christmas ham is an angry, angry business.
