It's like a spam come true!

A. called this morning and asked to borrow our 16-Bar Theatre Audition book for a few upcoming auditions, so over a few phone calls we arranged to meet at one place, then another, and finally at the Walgreen's on Union and Maclean, because she needed a prescription filled and I needed some new sunglasses. I was in line checking out and noticed that they'd moved the family planning section to behind the counter from just a spot on the aisle, the better to embarrass folks looking to buy some condoms, I guess.

For sheer embarrassment value, however, there was a box that appeared to contain a tube of something that I've seen advertised in countless pieces of spam, a male desensitizer called Mandelay. Get it?

That, my friends, is something you'll have to ask for by name. Because they keep it behind the counter and the employees at Walgreen's need to know about your hair trigger. They'll probably call a price check on it, too.

Then later, driving home, I saw three does standing by the side of the road just around the corner from the house.
