About four or five years ago, I went grocery shopping with the girl I was living with at the time. We bought a lot of food, and when we walked back out to the car with it, we realized there wasn't enough room. She was working at a dry cleaners, and had taken a couple of boxes full of wire coat hangers that they apparently no longer needed. In retrospect, it's entirely possible that she had stolen them, because that was the kind of shady person she was, and she did actually end up getting fired for stealing from the register. Either way, the only way we were going to get the groceries to fit in the car was by ditching the boxes.
"Do you have a marker?" I asked. I had a plan.
"No," she said, "Why?"
"I need to write on these boxes."
"I have some lipstick," she said, pulling a tube out of her purse.
I took the tube of lipstick and scrawled ABORTION KITS on the boxes. We dropped them in the parking lot, loaded the groceries into the car, and left.
I'm a pretty pro-choice guy, but I thought writing ABORTION KITS on two boxes of wire coat hangers was hilarious, because it could be offensive to absolutely anyone.

I remember that story, I thought you found the box in the parking lot and also I thought you had a marker on you.
Um.. I'm lost for words.
So, in the absence of meaningful words I will stand by the term, WHAT THE SHIT!
P.S. Great story.
(stolen coat hangers, thats a new one)
