Sauter’s is a grocery store here in town that offers great potato salad, ‘Gramma Sauter’s Potato Salad.’ I have bought their potato salad for 20 years or so, along with their cole slaw, 3-bean salad and so forth. However, Gramma Sauter’s potato salad is the best.
A couple years ago I noticed that they dropped ‘Gramma’ from the label. Quite disturbing it was – to notice Gramma missing…
Yesterday I stopped in to buy some potato salad. As the gal behind the counter was filling the container, I asked her, “What happened to Gramma?”
She looked at me rather perplexed and so I explained, “You used to have ‘Gramma Sauter’ on the label.”
“Oh,” she replied, “it still is ‘Gramma Sauter’s’ potato salad,” and she pointed to a sign above the counter. We hell, it never occurred to me to look up there!
“Well this is a relief,” I said to her. “I thought Gramma Sauter was a victim of an obamacare death panel!” And I walked off…
She stood there for a moment, reflecting upon what I had said, and then it hit her – and I thought she was going to pee her pants! She just began laughing, and couldn’t stop.
I just walked away, with a satisfying smile. I just love making people laugh…
