A woman was waiting at the checkout at a busy supermarket, Her arms were heavily laden with a mop and broom and other cleaning supplies. By her actions and deep sighs, it was obvious she was in a hurry and not happy about the slowness of the line.

When the cashier called for a price check on a box of soap, the woman remarked indignantly, Well, Ill be lucky to get out of here and home before Christmas!�

Don't worry,replied the checkout person. With that wind kicking up out there and that brand new broom you have here, you'll be home in no time.
