The Penny’s never really experience being crowded. Their personal hygiene (the stench from Joy’s rinsed but never washed bra is merely one small factor), their chronic flatulence (its peaks coinciding with cabbage day at the Steaming Steer Buffet), and the extremely unpleasant sensation of contact with their jiggling bulk (shudder) combine to keep a generous clear area around them. It would be worse but for their taste in sweatshirts that serve, like stripes on the foul tasting caterpillar and the bright colors of the poisonous tree frog, as warning signs. .Of course, there was that time in the Dollar-a-Pop store when they were seriously jostled when they became part of a herd of similar beasts in an aisle already cramped by temporary displays of flannel backed plaid vinyl table cloths, Chinese home pregnancy tests (seconds), and syrup flavored Vienna sausages (sell-by date blacked out). A woman in orange short shorts unexpectedly reversed her ride-on shopping cart and the beeping panicked the herd and set off a self-replicating mass fat tsunami. Disaster was narrowly averted when an 18 year old assistant manager announced a flash sale on a limited supply of five-pound bags of Cheeto-like snacks on another aisle, goading the victims into desperate efforts.
