National Lampoon's Shopping Run

CAM: Every weekend, someone on my working crew is responsible for going to the commissary (grocery store) to shop for our snack fund. Our snack fund consists of the essentials: chips, cookies, candy, soda, etc. Well, today was my turn. I went to the commissary where I was told repeatedly that there is a sale on boneless frozen chicken in aisle 12. I must have heard the announcer say that 10 times while I was in the store. It was how he said it that stood out:

ANNOUNCER: Good afternoon, Ramstein commissary shoppers. Today, we are having a sale on boneless frozen chicken. Original price is $4.79. WHOOSH! Take that $1.50 off coupon! WHOOSH! Now, it's only $3.29.

CAM: As if I didn't know how to subtract numbers with decimals.

KID WALKING BY: WHOOSH!

A MOTHER WALKING BY: WHOOSH! Hehe.

CAM: Oh, no.

ANNOUNCER: *repeats earlier aisle 12 sale... more WHOOSH*

AIR FORCE SERGEANT: WHOOSH! Ha!

COMMISSARY STAFF MEMBER: WHOOSH! Hahaha!

HUSBAND AND WIFE: WHOOSH! Funny!

CAM: *facepalms*

ANNOUNCER: *repeats earlier aisle 12 sale again... "WHOOSH" is used eight times*

A FATHER WALKING BY: HA! WHOOSH!

TODDLER: WHOOSH!

OLD RETIREE: WHOOSH! Funny whipper-snapper.

CAM: *gets to aisle 12 and sees announcer announcing*

ANNOUNCER: WHOOSH! WHOOSH! Sale WHOOSH! Coupon WHOOSH! Chicken WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

WHAT CAM IS THINKING: *Cam walks over to boneless frozen chicken and grabs a bag. Cam walks over to announcer. Cam swings bag and hits announcer in the face.*

CAM: WHOOSH!
