50.

I have slowly come to accept the fact that that grocery store and I are in a long-term relationship, whether I like it or not.  I've been trying a variety of things to make the relationship a smoother one, however haven't had much luck yet.  While doing some reading online tonight I came across a list of 50 fun things to do in a grocery store.  Hmmm, maybe these tricks will spice up my relationship with the supermarket.

4.Go up to the manager and tell him or her that you've lost your mommy.
5.While waiting in line at the checkout, juggle some lemons.
6.Tiptoe stealthily up and down the aisles - and around corners - with a magnifying glass.
7.While scratching frantically, ask the manager if he or she has anything for body lice.
