Strange in HEB: Free Samples...

I received a text message as I was driving home this evening alerting me to the fact that long time reader, Lee, had sent me a picture of something entertaining at the local HEB. I could hardly wait to get home and check it out.

I'm gonna just cut to the chase right here and tell you - and I think Lee would agree; there are just some things that don't work so well in the form of a sample.I nearly crapped myself when I pulled this picture up. (I know, I giggled when I wrote that, so you can laugh too.)

There is an old Wild Weasel saying, "You Gotta Be Shittin' Me" that I find is quite fitting here. Lee tells me that upon encountering the free samples, he and his wife laughed, imagining somebody dropping trou' in the aisle to take them up on the offer.

Egads. Oh look, they are giving away some Preparation H samples on aisle 3...

Strange.

UPDATE: Because my wife and I are too silly to leave things the way they are, we had to stop into the HEB in question and certify that Lee's telephone picture was not a fake.Sure enough, the free samples were still being dispensed.
