Now, I know that it’s illegal to serve acohol to minors. And, I believe the law states that if\u00a0a person looks like they’re under 28 (or 30, or some such age) that you should ask to see their ID anyway.<\/p>\n
But is it still required to ask senior citizens? That’s practically what happened in front of me at the Prudential Center Shaw’s market. A couple in their early 60’s (my guess) were purchasing three bottles of red wine and the cashier saw the wine and immediately asked to see the man’s ID (since he was paying). Shocked, he pulled out his driver’s license and showed it to the clerk. His wife stood on the side smirking at the silliness of asking a person his age for an ID to buy wine.<\/p>\n
But it got worse. The cashier then asked his wife for her ID, too, since she was accompanying the man purchasing the wine. What’s up with that? Does that mean if a father and his toddler go into a package store to buy wine for a romantic dinner with his wife that he can’t buy the wine? Or was this cashier (who was also quite slow in completing all of her transactions) generally a slow person?<\/p>\n
Either way – it made the three of us chuckle (except for the cashier who didn’t get it).<\/p>\n
I also saw a movie this weekend. It’s the first one I’ve gone to in ages. I went by myself which is also something I’d not done in years. I rather enjoyed it (the movie…and going alone). The movie was “The Oh in Ohio” (hence the play in my blog title today). It starred Parker Posey who was my movie idol in the 1990’s. Paul Rudd (whom I also adore) played her husband, Heather Graham played a lesbian sex shop owner, Danny DeVito played a pool salesman,\u00a0and Liza Minelli played a women’s masturbation coach (hilariously, I might add).<\/p>\n
It was essentially an indie\u00a0romantic comedy with a bit of raunchy humor thrown in. The funny thing is I’d not heard about this movie at all. I had planned on seeing “Little Miss Sunshine”, but also saw this movie listed and figured that “Little Miss Sunshine”\u00a0would be around for at least a\u00a0few more weekends. Maybe the reason I’ve not heard much about “The Oh in Ohio” is that it’s about a mid-30’s woman who has never reached orgasm…but finally does through the use of a vibrator.\u00a0She then becomes addicted – to the point of inserting her pager into her unmentionables while in the car and\u00a0while working. Her husband, who was never able to bring her to orgasm before, did manage to bring her there unintentionally by repeatedly calling her in anger one afternoon.<\/p>\n
Anyway, it was cute. I laughed and I left smiling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
