SUPERMARKET SWEEP

I see you won that prize – the supermarket sweep.

Yes, sounds better than it was.

How’s that.

They only gave me one minute! Sixty seconds and the aisles are a mile long.

I’d have gone for the booze, and the meat fridges.

Yeah, but I don’t drink much and the freezer’s already full.

So what did you get?

Cat food – the pouches. They cost a bloody fortune, so I stacked boxes of 48 high as I could, a bit risky though.

How risky?

Well, the cats are getting on. I only hope they live long enough to eat the stuff.
