Checkout Line, Target, Waterfront:
Female Customer: [to Cashier] All of these things are for my brother in the Navy in Iraq.
Cashier: [incredulous] Oh my God, are you going over there to visit him?
Female Customer: Uh, no. He’s in a war zone. This’ll be sent to him in the mail as a care package.
Cashier: I was going to say! It’s so hot over there! I wouldn’t want to go there!
