Minty Star Fresh

There is this gum here that I absolutely love. It is so delicious. It is minty and has a minty watery center. Yumm. In fact, last time I was here I bought a pack special for brother as a gift. When I bequeathed it to him he “loved it” (ok that is to say that he didn’t really like it, and that is just because his taste buds are not as refined as mine…). Anyway, there is just one place where one can buy this delicious delicacy, “Viktoriya.” Anyway, the other day I ran out of my minty-mint and I was going out in public, (I am a star here, it is very important that I am minty fresh all the time. And this is no joke. I have been on TV and in the newspaper here.. thusly a STAR. Ask me about it later..) and I desperately needed my gum. So I decided to quickly stop and get my precious. Unfortunately, the lines were unbelievably long. You know, Friday night, Russians have got to booze it up. Anyway, I was already late for my very important star-like engagement and I didn’t want to wait. I just had gum. I could be out of there in a snap. So I decided to talk to the plebeians if I could go in front of them, fore they had a lot of groceries, and I just had my much needed gum. The smarmy sot looked at my one item, then looked me in the eye and said, “no” and that was the end of the conversation. NO?!? Are you kidding me? How rude! In the states if someone has the balls to ask to cut, then you better have a good reason to decline the cut. A simple ‘no’ won’t cut it. As if it was worth anything, I said in my head over and over again, “a**hole.” I’m not sure if it actually did anything, but the point of the matter is that it helped me, and really that is all that ever matters.
