old lady joke

ok, this happened about two weeks ago, but i meant to blog it then, so i may as well go ahead and do it now, since i remembered.

i was in target, waiting the checkout line. the elderly woman in front of me was being very chatty with the check out lady, who was being very nice about it. it seemed like one of those things where the older woman was just enjoying talking to someone who would listen.

after a moment, she moved on, and the checkout lady started working on my stuff. after about 30 secs, the older woman comes back and kinda lurks beside me where the checkout woman isn't noticing her. i figure the older woman just has some sort of problem with her purchase right?
at least i assume so, as she waited there for about a minute and a half.

once i moved down to the very end to use the credit card reader thing, the older woman steps around me so that she can once again face the checkout lady.

and after waiting for like a minute and a half, all the while practically standing on top of me, this is what the older lady says to the check out lady:

older lady: "do you like chinese food?"
checkout lady: "yes, i do like to get chinese food sometimes"
older lady: "when i have chinese food, i always order my favorite dish: sum yung guy."

check out lady and older lady have a laugh about that, and older lady, now appearently satisfied, makes her way out of target.
