Happy New Year! Our next edition will be another one from Anne Goodrich and will be in your mailbox January 5, 2001! Watch for Anne's hilarious "Bartender, Make Mine a Double"! Today's story is by our own Granny Hook - Kathe Campbell. Gotta love anyone who thinks of this for her food storage emergencies!
BAGS WITH A KICK
BY KATHE CAMPBELL
OUR AREA VETERAN'S HOSPITAL PROVIDES MY HUSBAND, KEN, WITH THE LATEST HIGH-POWERED RHEUMATOID SYRUM WHICH HE PICKS UP TWO OR THREE TIMES A MONTH IN A STYROFOAM BOX PACKED WITH FROZEN ICE BAGS.
AS HE HAD BUSINESS IN HELENA ONE DAY THIS SUMMER, HE DECIDED TO UNBURDEN OUR POOR OLD FREEZER OF A DOZEN OR TWO ICE BAGS. THE LAST I SAW OF HIM HE WAS BUSILY STACKING BOXES CONTAINING THE BAGS INTO HIS SUV. WE WAVED 'ADIOS' AND I WENT BACK TO MY WORK.
UPON HIS RETURN THAT EVENING I ASKED ABOUT HIS DAY AND HE REMARKED THAT THE VA PHARMACY WAS GLAD TO GET A FEW COOLER BOXES BACK. "ONE THING THOUGH," HE CASUALLY MENTIONED. "THE PHARMACY WAS CURIOUS AS TO WHY ALL THE FROZEN PLASTIC BAGS ARE PINK."
"PINK?" I QUERIED. "WHADOYA MEAN PINK?"
"YEAH, PINK." KEN MUTTERED.
"BUT THE PHARMACY BAGS ARE ALWAYS WHITE," I INSISTED.
ALL OF A SUDDEN THE AWFUL REALITY SET IN.
"HOLY HANNAH, KEN, WHICH FREEZER DID YOU TAKE THOSE BAGS FROM THIS MORNING," I SHRIEKED.
"THE FREEZER IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM, OF COURSE," HE SNAPPED BACK.
"JUMPIN' GEE HOSSAFATS, THAT WAS MY SUMMER'S SUPPLY OF FROZEN STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRIS!"

AUTHOR'S NOTE: SO AS NOT TO APPEAR A DRUNKEN FOOL UP HERE ON TOP OF MY MONTANA MOUNTAIN, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT A DOZEN OR TWO FROZEN BAGS OF DAIQUIRIS LASTS A WEE LONGER THAN ONE SUMMER. HERE'S TO YA, VA
PHARMACISTS!
