A conversation I had with my wife at Target a week or two ago:
(She had a shopping cart filled with essential baby items, and I met her after exploring the children's books...and other sections.)
ME: Hey, they had a few cute books in the dollar bins. I got these ones.
(I dump them in the cart)
HER: Great.
ME: And, uh...this, too...
(At this point, I kind of slide a two-pack of Green Acres Seasons 1 and 2 into the cart)
HER: Do you need that?
ME: Yes. Why, yes, I think I do. It's only 20 bucks for both seasons.
HER: Yeah, but do you NEED it?
ME: Yeah, I need it. As a matter of fact, I do.
HER: You really NEED it. You'll die if you don't buy that right here today.
ME: Yes. It's such a great deal that I think if I pass it up, I might well die here in the store if I don't buy these DVDs.
HER (with a small sigh): All right.
Folks, just between you, me, and the government filters that monitor the entire Internet, I may have told a slight untruth there, as I didn't really NEED seasons 1 and 2 of "Green Acres." But I sure as heck wanted them, and at that price, I couldn't resist. I always neglected the show in the past because I lumped it in with "Beverly Hillbillies," which I never cared for, and only recently did I discover how wrong I was.
So, you know, baby formula, diapers, and DVDs. The essentials, right?

Let's face it...no home should be without seasons 1 and 2 of Green Acres. And if you need me to play the whole phony-doctor-who-writes-out-a-prescription-so-you-can-obtain-season-3, I'll be only too happy to do it.
