Late one night...

Wilson: Bro, when was the last time we bought groceries?

Bong: Hmmmmm... not sure. Why don't you check?

*Checks fridge*

Wilson: Dude, we're out of bread...

Bong: It's ok. Buy tomorrow.

Wilson: We're also out of eggs...

Bong: Don't worry, that is not important

Wilson: We're also out of meat, vegetables, condiments and pretty much everything else edible...

Bong: Yeah, yeah, yeah... Don't worry, we can get them tomorrow...

Wilson: Bro, I'm not going to eat instant noodles again for another week so you'd better remind me to do the groceries.

Bong: Don't worry, we will eat good food tomorrow

*Closes fridge door and walks out*

Wilson: Oh yeah, we're out of beer too...

Bong: WHAT!

Wilson: Huh?

Bong: What did you say?

Wilson: I just noticed we were out of beer, that's all. No biggie, we can pick up a sixpack when we're doing groceries tomorrow

Bong: WE ARE OUT OF BEER!?

Wilson: Chill out bro, I said it's not a big deal...

Bong: LETS DO GROCERIES NOW!!!!

Wilson: Ah well, might as well get them done...

*Both housemates walk out into the blistering cold winter night, hiking through suburbia to the only grocery store that opens at 11.30pm. It also coincidentally has a liquor section*

Wilson: Fuck, this wasn't a good idea. We should've done the shopping tomorrow, it's fucking cold!

Bong: NO, WE DO IT TONIGHT!!!!!

*After braving the low temperatures, biting coastal winds and the physical effort; our two housemates have managed to reach their destination*

Wilson: Ah shit, it's good to be finally out of the fucking cold.

Bong: Ok, you have the list with you?

Wilson: Yeah sure, lemme see...

*Pulls out shopping list from pocket and reads through it*

Wilson: ...eggs and beer. All up it should be around $30 bucks. I've got $20, how much have you got?

Bong: $15

Wilson: More than enough, now get a basket...

Bong: WILSON... LOOK!!!

*Points towards the liquor section*

Wilson: What?

Bong: LOOK AT THE SIGN!!!

*Wilson refocuses his attention to the fairly large sign that Bong was pointing at. In big, bold lettering, it clearly states "Corona 24 bottles: $30.00". Both their eyes widen immensely*

Bong: That is FUCKING cheap!

Wilson: Shit, any cheaper and we'd be in Mexico!

Bong: But we also have to buy groceries!

Wilson: True...

Bong: Hmmm...

Wilson: Hard decision, but we'll have to go with the more pressing matters at hand. It's shit like this that really pisses me off...

Bong: *Sigh*

Wilson: Alright then, lets get moving...

15 minutes later...

*The housemates are beginning their suburban trek back to the apartment. Wilson is lugging a case of Corona on his shoulders while Bong holds a plastic bag in his hand filled with familiar looking packets...*

Wilson: ...shit, and we still had enough money to buy ourselves instant noodles for the week!

Bong: Now we have tons of Corona and instant noodle!

Wilson: I'm glad we did the right thing!

Bong: Pass me a bottle, I'm fucking cold and tired

Wilson: Sure, just watch out for the cops. Don't want to get busted drinking in public again...

So ends another tale from halfway across the world, or a few blocks away, or just next door; depends where you're reading this from and frankly I don't give a rats-ass. So what will Bong and Wilson come up with next? What lies in store for the two housemates?

Stay tuned....
