Say what?

Today was grocery shopping day. As I walked up to the doors at Aldi I realized that I didn't have a quarter to get a cart... only two dimes and a nickel. Two women were walking up from the bus stop and I asked one if she had a quarter I could buy.

The look on her face was priceless.

"What did you say??? Say that again."

Me, not realizing what she thought I meant said "You know, a quarter. I only have two dimes and a nickel."

Now, I realize that I live in a bigger city, but really. Do we really live in a world where people just walk up to each other outside the grocery store and ask for drugs?? Don't answer that.
