(This is at the tail end of a LOOONG list of very strange specifications that my grandpa has given my mom when she shops for his groceries. Mom can’t help but regale me with them, and I think this gem sticks out among the rest.)
Mom: “And then he was very emphatic on me just getting five eighths of a pound of meat.”
Me: “Not a half a pound or anything? Five eighths?!”
Mom: “Five. Eighths.”
Me: “FFFIIIVE EIGHTHS.”
Mom: “He wouldn’t take anything else.”
Me: “I think you should schedule a colonoscopy for him, because he’s getting pretty anal!”
