Center for the Prevention of Shopping Cart Abuse
And then I was wondering about the play value of shopping carts, only to find myself at the very Center for the Prevention of Shopping Cart Abuse. Here I found truly horrific examples of unkind acts towards the Shopping Carts of the world. For example, this report:
Incident Report #329IOU8826
This Shopping Cart was found abandoned in a hot tub in San Jose, California.
DETAIL: Metal Shopping Carts and hot bubbling water do not mix. To a supermarket a corroded Shopping Cart can be thrown in the same pile as no-armed bag boys. Abuses like this tend to be the work of drunken hooligans or scorned lovers. There were no alcohol bottles or soccer balls recovered at the scene, so the focus of our investigation is shifting toward the scorned lover theory. A notable piece of evidence was the family's pet rabbit found with the cart in the hot, bubbling water.
PROFILE: We are looking for an angry female in her 40's, jaded disposition, takes the smother approach to relationships and probably not a member of PETA.
Is there no end of the abuse that Shopping Carts are heir to? Is it time perhaps for the Shopping Carts to learn from the Traffic Cones of the word?
