You just reinforced my opinions about George Jr. being out of touch with the average American!

George Sr. had a photo-op in a grocery store.  In a nutshell, there were
two
actions that plainly indicated that he was out of touch with the average
citizen:

1)  He hadn't the foggiest idea of the price of a gallon of milk.  I don't
recall his estimate, but it was pretty silly (something like 50
cents/gallon, but I could be wrong).

2)  He marveled over the UPC scanner at the checkout.  He hadn't been in a
store since items were rung up by a cashier manually entering prices into
the cash register.  Unit Price Coding (UPC) had been ubiquitous for years
before the President's visit to the grocer.

Tell us about your new job when you get rested up!

Kyle,

Can you explain "George Sr.'s faux pas with a gallon of milk at a D.C.
supermarket"?  It's not something I'm old enough to remember (I was 9 when
Clinton got elected... I'm not trying to make y'all feel old, but it's
true,
and seeming young is better than seeming ignorant, I think).  It sounds
like
a great story.  I tried searching for it on Google, but couldn't find
anything.  Thanks!

On another note:
There are lots of things I want to reply to, but I started a new job
recently, and it's taking up a lot of my time and leaving me really tired.
Right now, all I want is to go to bed.  So, I hope that you all will put
up
with me commenting on some old threads in a few days (probably the
weekend).
This, though, I couldn't wait to hear!

~Joy~
