Figuring It Out


My dear husband

David has not yet become addicted to the world of blogging. 24—yes! . . . but blogging, honestly he thinks we (you know who you are) all just need to get a life.

That is therefore the precise reason why I can feel complete freedom to post the following without fear of repercussions on his xanga site. It will most likely be a month or so before he posts again . . . so here it is.

Question of the Day:

If you send your husband to the store with specific instructions to buy “a really good brand of taco sauce,” and he comes home with a bottle of Taco Bell taco sauce, do you . . .

A. Assume he actually likes Taco Bell taco sauce over all the really great brands you can choose from?
B. Assume he doesn’t really like taco sauce and thought he could save a few pennies?
C. Assume he has no taste whatsoever?
D. Assume that he just figured out a really good way to never get sent to the store again?

From what I know of Dave I would assume that it was it was a simple case of mistaken idenity. I'm sure it was not intentional. I would venture to guess that he is very sorry and won't let it happen again and if he's not then I'm sorry for him.

Oh, it't totally the last one- figured out a way to never get sent to the store again. That's husband strategy number 1 :-) You are too funny, Beth!

Hi, Mrs. Hasz. I'm Ben, an August undergrad. I just wanted to say that I really enjoy reading your blog. It's fun to see into the life of you and your husband and your family.

It's too bad Mr. Hasz never updates his Xanga. I think if he used it as an outlet for something besides "what I did today" (the purpose of many blogs, the likes of which he seems to consider frivolous) it could be really effective.

This post's secret is safe...assuming someone doesn't use it for blackmail!

As for the actual question, the answer might be something along the lines of "Oh, Taco Bell, that's a famous name. They seem to be pretty popular. If they're that popular, their taco sauce must be pretty good." So perhaps it's a mix of A and C.

P.S. Tell him I'm still eagerly awaiting part 3 of the riddle!

I would be glad that he didn't come home with the store brand! that's what kevin would do... save those pennies! But, come to think of it, I think I like the Taco Bell brand...
but on the premise...I totally concur... I have to give size, brand, color, quantity, and any other sort of info in order to get the right item if I send Kevin to the store...

If it were me, my answer would be "A"!

Michelle said...

hahaha...I would say probably a combination of A and D...either that or he just didnt care...my mom will ask me to get the "good stuff" sometimes and I'm like, "Is there really a difference?"
If he doesn't go to the store then he doesnt have to make the decision :)

I was told: It has to say "Taco Sauce"
We live very near the edge of the earth, and out here there are not a lot of grocery store options: The Van Brookshires (pronounced, Brooksures) only carries one brand that says, "Taco sauce" it is Taco Bell. Michelle has got me thinking however, so now I am looking forward to buying some very creative things at the store and we shall all see how often I get sent!

My guess was that his assistant wasn't around to go to the store for him, hehehe. Was that choice "e"?

Michelle said...

OK, I'm laughing hsyterically at Ginger's response. Why didn't I think of that. That has to be what happened! I choose "e"!!! :-)
And Dave- shopvac'ing your living room- you have definitely slid down the slippery slope! Next thing you know there will be a fridge on your front porch.

Do you really want me to answer this question, Beth? Dave and taco sauce. I could really create an interesting image with that one. Not to worry, I shall refrain. Being a male and knowing how much males dislike going to the store for the women in their lives, I can only assume Dave walked down an aisle and whichever jar of taco or salsa anything he spotted that was the one he bought. We men don't enjoy shopping for anything unless we choose to and those moments are rare. Unless, of course, it's for CD's, video games or DVD's. Well, then again I'm not a Texan so I should probably add in to the mix a shotgun. Go forth and conquer NRA!
