Today my wife and I went to a local warehouse store and picked up a nice little chest freezer. (Hey it's only a 3.4 cubic footer.)
The comedy started as we hit the checkout line with the ticket line with my claim check and a new grinder in hand. The security gaurd there asked my wife if she needed help carrying the Grinder. (Okay so she looked good in her long white skirt and thin tan sleevless top.) She just grabbed it and thanked him for the offer but saying she could tak care of it.
I got the feelng he called ahead because when we showed up at the loading dock to pick up the freezer we were met with several of the guys there. They stood around talking and watching as the freezer was brought out and I signed for it. Then they stepped forward and told my wife to step to the side as they idn't want her to get her clothes dirty. They looked at me and told me they would load the freezer into the car but they didn't know how we would unload it when we got home. I didn't say a word, instead I opened the back of my car and lowered the seats while grabbing a wide soft strap I carry there fo just this sort of thing.
When I was ready I slid the box containing the freezer to the edge of the dock and slung the strap around it. Once I had it in place it was an easy matter to lift it and walk away. (Hey the damned thing only weighs sixty pounds. In this ase it isn't the weight but the bulk. (The box was roughly three feet tall by four feet by three feet. a little hard to get my arms around.) The look on these guys faces as I walked away from the loading ock and slid the box into the back of my car was priceless. Here are these large guys who just can't carry this box and I walked away with it. (Then again I chea whenever possible.
