Who gets drunk at two in the afternoon? Plus who gets drunk at two in the afternoon and suddenly decides that she needs some hardware?

I had a woman customer this afternoon who came in looking for a piece of pipe. She wanted either one-quarter inch or three-quarter inch, she couldn't remember which. She finally decided on one-quarter and about a half hour later, she was back, looking for one-half inch. Both her first two guesses proved wrong.

She added that she had to walk back and forth to the store because she didn't feel up to driving.

This points out the danger of mixing alcohol and hardware. Each year hundreds of people are injured or worse while attempting to repair something while they have a snoot full. Remember, friends don't let friends shop drunk, especially for plumbing items.
