Transcript:
Mrs. Olsen: If I buy 36 items at Giantway and a grocery bag holds six items, how many bags will I go home with? boy student: Paper or plastic? Mrs. Olsen: I don't know. Paper. girl student: Any coupons or bottle slips? Mrs. Olsen: What? Both. boy: Which checkout lane? Mrs. Olsen: Oh, for...lane one. students: BoooOo! Mrs. Olsen: Well, how was I supposed to know lane one is the express lane? Frazz: Beats me. We've been trying to get the cashier to bust you for years.
So a grocery bag holds six items? Six jars of baby food? Six full-size watermelons? BTW, at first I thought that Mrs. Olsen’s question was written on the board.
