I grabbed my wallet, jumped in my car and headed to the mini-market for my pie. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The guy at the counter kept looking at me and smiling. Boy, what a friendly place! On top of that, they had a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;phenomenal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; wine selection! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The guy told me that the apple pies were awesome but that the chocolate ones were just gross and I should avoid trying one of those. I explained that I wasn't going to eat the pie, I was just buying it to take a picture of it. He just looked at me with kind of a blank look on his face. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;I rushed home, ran to my camera and started snapping pictures. I happened to look up in the mirror on my wall and noticed I was wearing this towel over my shoulder! Nice!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Have you ever done this?
