I was probably 10 or 11 when I saw that episode, and it certainly made an impact on me! 😂

@ElleGray I could stand to lose a few pounds, but "bag" seems harsh.

@jimbush @ElleGray
My reaction too. "At least I have a body, you dumb sign. No one will ever love *you*".

@LinuxAndYarn @ElleGray Came here to make this joke, not surprised to see I've been beaten to the punch... several times lol

@ElleGray overloaded, poorly arranged, on the verge of splitting down the side and spilling everything I’m trying to contain? Checks out

@ElleGray That's an old joke in my area. The local grocery store is called Shop 'n' Bag. The joke went:

Shoppin', bag?

No, just lookin'

@ElleGray

Only people that mostly care about you when you’re shopping are the cashiers, that mostly get treated like someone else’s dead cats.

@ElleGray anti-capitalists when they see a shopping bag sign(it has a deep philosophical meaning about communism or something)

Do we rank above or below douche bags?

@ElleGray I see myself as more of an unnacounted item in the bagging area...

Curmudgeon

@ElleGray

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: from bags thou art, and unto bags shalt thou return.

@ElleGray Reminds me of the meme about bottled water companies not selling water, but bottles.

What are you shopping? Bags!

@ElleGray @Robbins Still, at least it wasn’t ‘bag’s’. Bag would have been so upset.

@ElleGray this is such a great post. I about died laughing at the pop-up, tho:

Same as post, with sign indicating that as consumers, we are all "shopping bags," but with the addition of a pop-up message: "This post is 3 months old. You can still reply, but it may no longer be relevant." The joke here is that this will ALWAYS be relevant."
