Years and Years ago I wanted a cabbage patch doll...this is when they first came out... and being that my hubby and I were just fresh married he braved the stores for it as his gift to me that year. He stood at the table that was marked cabbage patch dolls, the salesclerk told him she would be right back with a supply of them. Now mind you he wasnt alone there were about 30 old ladies waiting for those dolls but he was first in line and he is a big guy 6'2 200 plus black hair, black eyes, dark complected (sp). So of course he thought no one in their right mind would think about snatching the dolls from him. The sales clerk came back threw the dolls in their shipping boxes on the table and ran!!! LOL my hubby grabbed 2 and started to walk away (that was the allowed amount) those old ladies took one look at him and started grabbing those dolls...he was sooo shocked they got the damn dolls!!!
The clerck says sir I have another bunch if you wait lol. He waits and when they come out again he grabs 2 and runs from the table in a football hold shoulder shovin move LOL. He made it out of the strore with one and she is treasured to this day. LOL he says this is why he will not shop!!!
BTW when he told this story on xmas morning my family and I all about wet ourselves from this story. My mind still has this image of him running from the table with sheer terror in his eyes tackling old ladies to get away.
