I'll let Stacey tell you about our trip to Costco. Giddy with excitement about finally getting out of the house, she was like a child in a candy store. She got to ride on one of those three-wheeled power chair things. You know how some people driving their cars swerve to hit little critters crossing the road? Every time I turned around, she was bearing down on me. I heard her laughing as I dove out of the way the last time.
As we were leaving, a guy stood astride his dark-blue Ford 350 pickup in his white short-sleeved undershirt in the snowy, windy, 20-degree weather, shouting something unintelligible to a group of three women of indeterminate age. The bleachiest blonde of the three yelled back to him, "Why have you no coat on?"
The guy laughed, "What did you say?"
Obviously having second thoughts about what she said to him, she asked him, "Why don't you got no coat on?"
