A wise woman once said, “there’s more than one way to get to Safeway.” My local store recently had Rainier 12-packs at $13.99 and Rainier 18-packs at $14.99. What’s a man to do? What would you do? What do you think I did? 

 

At a very large family gathering on Thanksgiving in Grays Harbor County there was a hosted bar. When I made my way through the line I said, “I’d like a beer please” and the host said, “we have Coors Light and Rainier.” What’s a man to do? What would you do? What do you think I did?  On my third trip to the bar, the host pointed at the cooler and said “dig in, just help yourself.” Of the 120 people in attendance I believe I was the only person drinking Rainier and I did my due diligence, chipping away at a couple  cases of cans in the cooler.  You know 3 little Rainiers is less than one big IPA.   

 

Another other weekend I took Junior-Junior & friend to a UW Basketball game. After I set them up with concessions I got in the beer line for an over-overpriced tall can of IPA. When I got to the cashier she asked for ID, then not even looking at my date of birth, she eyed the ID photo then me then back to the ID and said, “the haircut’s not cutting it…” I said nothing and then she said “my husband started going bald when he was 19”  Nearly two weeks later I’m still not exactly sure what’s up with the haircut, cutting it or not cutting it.

What’s a man to do?

What would you do?
