As if in a trance, I steered my shopping

  • As if in a trance, I steered my shopping cart into the strange gloom of Aisle 11. Moments later, a small smoky demon chomped on my leg then handed me its business card before it
  • dissolved in a green haze. I peered at the card & saw ☄☈❦⚗☉⚛☍✡♒♆❅❖☥⚔☠. The imp's card implored me to search the produce section for occult symbols in the corporate logos.
  • I knew that the Chiquita banana lady was part of the occult cabal. That wasn't a hat, it was horns! By saying, " ☄☈❦⚗☉⚛☍✡♒♆❅❖☥⚔☠" the scales fell from my eyes. Fruit was Satan!
  • It all made perfect sense now. The lilting music, the Chiquita banana lady's ruby red smile, the sticker I'd stuck to my forehead...the mark of Satan! She plucked some grapes from
  • from an invisible vine and began to peel off the skin. I removed the sticker from my face and asked, "What kind of grapes?" Chiquita banana lady ate a peeled grape. "Invisible."
  • Ah... My fruit salad days when I was green in judgement, cold in blood and was seduced by an older banana. Chiq
  • ita was the apple of my eye until I discovered Mrs. Plum had appeal. I didn't give a fig for nectarines but Mr. Orange was a real peach. I wore a lot of Juicy Couture in those days
  • and sometimes shopped at Piperlime. Likewise Ms. Clementine, Mr. Orange's niece, was said to have such citrus appeal that whenever she strolled by, others had trouble concentrating
  • Of courseit was all pulp fiction. Ms. Clemetine's juiciness was superficial at best. Inside she was rotten & seedy.It was a sublime deception! If you citrus self down & think about
  • what a son of a peach she is, you're plum tuckered out before raisin any good points. Orange you? Of course you are. So kum, quat does it really matter in the end?
