What’s More Valuable? The Cleat? Or The Paper?
I found these on ebay, and yes they are still there. I have not bought them, and right before I was about to, I thought to myself. mmmmmm, I have about 30 cleats sitting in a bin. Do I really need a set of NOS cleats?
Or is it the paper they are wrapped in? mmmmmmmmm I am not sure when CC stopped using the paper to wrap parts, its that funky post war 1950’s logo. But I think that may have lingered on. Anyway, it’s Saturday, Rainy and cold, and I am done with all the plastic talk, so I choose Paper over plastic today. Get it…. It’s a grocery store joke.
Okay, okay, not really a good one, actually kinda bad, but then again, I looked up grocery store jokes, and gotta say, it ain’t that fertile of an area. LOTS of puns, BAD puns, Like Hamburger and Hotdog Puns… SEE! Or Why did the carrot break up with the Broccoli? He was stalk-ing her.. Hey I warned you. And yet you just kept on reading.

What’s the perfect game to play in a grocery store?
I am sorry, I can’t do this anymore. Yet you are curious arnt you. First comment is the answer.
SQUASH!
Cashier: “Paper, or plastic?”
Customer: “Either. I’m bi-sack-tual”.
I WILL use that comeback line Troy!!!! 🤣
Don’t need any cleats and it’s raining in Michigan too. Boo!
OK, OK I give up! How did your mind go from boat cleats to grocery store jokes? It must be interesting in there! The cleats are cool with their packaging. They need to be curated!
You really don’t want to know what goes on in there. I suppose ts a combo of ADHD and 45 years of doing creative work. In my line of work you have to explore all the options and be inspired by all sorts of stuff. AI can never keep up with this sort of mental processing because there is zero logic behind it all. The thread went like this. That line was going to be Paper Or Cleat, Paper or Cleat, sounded like that question one is asked at the grocery store – Then I rewrote the set up, and then questioned the validity of a grocery store joke, looked them up and found it not to be the greatest inspiration for humor, which is humorous until its self. BUT being a fan of Dad Jokes, it fit perfectly and is G Rated. This thought process took all of about 20 seconds. And because woody boater is my space to let loose, and just enjoy. I hit PUBLISH and moved on to other distractions, before it was too late and no story would be published because a squirl showed up at the window.
HA! HA! HA! Have a great day!
I always find it ironic that when the option of “paper or plastic” first came about you were ostracized if you picked paper because the earth was being deforested due to over logging to make such products.
Today it is uncool to use plastic due to many legitimate reasons. I don’t even think the grocery stores up in the northeast even offer plastic bags any longer.
What about cardboard?
In China grocery stores don’t have Cashiers – –
They have ‘Chinese Checkers’ – –
I have a friend who opened a really nice gift store/coffee shop at my cabin. He and his wife hadn’t done it before and he asked me for a lot of advice (I think I ended up recommending half of the brands in his store). But the one thing I recommended is that they have one of those rolls of craft paper to wrap gifts in before putting them in a bag. And a simple hand stamp with their logo. What do you think customers comment on most? The paper. Costs them pennies.
Got be the paper!
Since the theme is shopping today…
Nice Boo..ts!
Good save Ron. 🙂
Melons!
the paper wrapper must be worth $130, i have the same cleats bought for less than $20 on ebay.
