Polvo's Law of Blah Blah Blah
Last night I learnt that when your wife tells you to go pick up a prescription from Walgreens, “the Walgreens next to blah blah blah” – that you should actually listen to the “blah blah blah” part so you don’t end up going to the wrong Walgreens and picking the slowest of the two drive through lanes, spend 40 minutes in the slowest LINE ON EARTH only to find out that you went to the wrong Walgreens and that it will take them another 30-40 minutes to transfer the prescription to this Walgreens “if you’d like to wait sir?” um. no thanks – but you decide instead to drive to the other (Correct) Walgreens and pick the lane that “appears” to be moving quicker – but happens to be the 2nd (farthest) lane from the pickup window and the lady doesn’t want to send the prescription (Tamiflu) through the tube-through-the-ceiling-delivery-system because the bottles are glass and could brake. So then you realize you should have worn shoes and some decent attire (even though that’s why you went to the drive through in the first place!) because she’s going to suggest that you get out of your car and walk up to the first drive through window and stand there in your socks while the car in “that lane” kinda wonders why your standing there squeezed between their car and the pick up window, with your butt in their window in socks, shorts, and a hooded Bronco sweatshirt - (see also: Unibomber). And you’re so mad after spending nearly 1.5 hours to pick up a prescription that you want to give someone a piece of your mind but you certainly can’t express frustration to your wife because, and rightfully so, she told your where to go in the first place - and then when she points this out you'll likely say "Blah blah blah".

I'm not sure about Texas, but here in the other 47 contiguous states it is illegal to drive without shoes.
Blah blah blah
I'm beginning to understand the problem.
I have a similar tale from years ago involving trying to pick up a pizza at the wrong pizza place. I drove downtown Clarkston, because back then pizza delivery in Georgia was pretty cutting edge and had not reached Decatur yet, went inside the pizza place #1, stood in line, cursed the counter person for not having my call-in pizza order ready, and stood indignantly at the counter area waiting for my pizza to be made. Gazing out the window and down the street at a flashing pizza place sign, it dawned on me that when you are listening to blah blah blah blah back at the house, sometimes Pizza hut and Pizza inn sound a lot alike. Needless to say, I tucked my tail between my legs, slipped out of pizza place #1 fired my '65 dodge dart up quickly and preceded to the correct pizza place, #2. (I assume they still hold that pizza under the warming light at pizza place #1, in case I ever show up there again....with faded instructions about shoving said pizza into some
lower body parts...............
