I can remember a strip from the “Dotty Dripple” comics (which were a ripoff of “Blondie”), where Horace Dripple announced to his family that he was going to the drug store.
He was immediately bombarded with requests from his wife and kids, just like here.
Finally, Horace said he was going to the “rug” store—a lie, but it got his family off his back.
BTW, in case you’re wondering, I turn 74 in June—old enough to remember “Dotty Dripple”!!
Husband can spend hours at our local hardware store. Visiting with the manager and employees, discussing his current project, checking on any sales items, and sometimes buying something.
If I had a hammer, I’d be willing to trade it for (most of) those snacks. Not the rutabaga, though. Grandma used to do cooking-stuff with rutabaga, and I never really liked the outcome….

What would a buzzard need from a hardware store, he would hurt himself.

If you want to keep your tail feathers, you’ll make a stop for the snacks.

Well if “I had a hammer, I would hammer in the morning, I would hammer in the evening…”

If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
