I was walking through the garden center and seeing if there was any good deals going on and I saw this woman "dead-heading" some gerber daisyies and putting them in her bag, her husband told her that was stealing and she said it wasnt because they were just going to throw them away anyway, so...

Very Funny.... I'll have to remember that the next time someone orders a "special batchelorette party cakes and cookies".
