Government is Not Like a Trip to Costco

"Hey Honey, I'm headed to Costco.  Need anything?"

""Uh.  Yeah.  I think there's a tropical storm headed our way.  I'd really like a few updates from NOAA and a big box of FEMA just in case.  Poor Susan.  Her daughter has a rare medical condition, so I thought maybe we could grab her a big bottle of NIH.  Grandpa is headed up to DC on an honor flight and I thought we could grab him a couple of war memorials.  I think they are next to the suitcases with wheels."

"Everyone has been raving about the Capitol Police, but heck, we don't even live there so I'm not sure who they sell that to. I have a coupon for 72% off the Intelligence Community but I'm just afraid we'd get one and never use it."

"Those people that get their Head Start supplies together so early in the season are a special breed. I just do not have the patience to wait 17 years to see the results of something.  Of course, it's the end of the month, so stay out of the Social Security aisle.  The Wilson's really need to get their DOT fixed.  They think they can get it cheaper overseas, but you always pay more in the end."

"Also, do NOT get any USDA.  I don't think they've checked that in a while.  In fact, I don't think there will be any fresh SNAP or WIC at all."

"I'll just head over to Sam's for that."
