Honey-Encrusted Hell

Have you ever tried to pick up a Honeybaked ham two days before Christmas? It ain't pretty folks. I know now why they have a cop stationed in the waiting area. There are eight lines that people can choose from. The people at the counter pop in and out at random. Now I admit I have road rage, but I can usually remain calm in stores. I mean some things you just have to wait for. Well this was above and beyond. There was a women who insisted on having 5 hams unwrapped in order to compare them. What the hell? I don't have any idea what she thought was the perfect ham. The women waiting on her seemed perfectly content to explain the finer points of each piece of smoked meat. Each time a new ham was requested the whole line behind her groaned. She eventually left but you know she wa second guessing her selection all the way home. I finally got waited on and the kid went to unwrap my ham. I quickly stopped him and said,"Is that a ham? Is it cooked? Is it spiral sliced? Fine that's all I need to know." I grabbed my ham and ran.
