Goofy stuff happens to me. Stuff that never happened to me while I was in the military. Ergo, the thread title.
And here's the latest:
Just before Christmas 2003, my GF and I broke up. She visited at Thanksgiving, and left of her Christmas gifts to me.
Christmas rolls around, and I open them. I unwrapped one, and it was a box of Capri Sun - you know that foil-package-super-sugar-stab-with-a-straw drink.
So I'm thinking, "Well, that's an interesting gift." I've never tasted Capri Sun - just never appealed to me. So I put it in the cabinet.
And Christmas 2004 rolls around.
And then Christmas 2005.
And today while I'm putting away groceries, I see the box of Capri Sun in the back of the cabinet.
I'm thinking maybe I'll check the expiration date and try one. I'm reloading today, so what's left of my mind is looking for stimulation - maybe a good jolt of sugar will do something.
I can't find any date on the box. So I figure I'll open it and look on the package.
I open the box and find 2 books, a MASH t-shirt, and a DVD set of the entire first season of MASH - Season One Collector's Edition.
I never even thought to open the box 2 years ago - just thought Capri Sun was a different sort of gift.
I think I'm finally starting to realize why I'm single.
