I had a Mitch Hedberg moment today - one of those times when I was reminded of Mitch’s uncanny ability to point out the stupid everyday nonsense we usually overlook. It’s one of my favorite Mitch jokes - actually the source of this blog’s tagline. Mitch buys a donut, and he gets a receipt.

Anyway, I stopped at CVS after work to buy a toothbrush and a bottle of water, and the receipt they gave me was over a foot long. Literally. Look at the thing (I put an actual American quarter next to it for scale)! C’mon, CVS. I can’t think of a situation in which I would need to prove that I bought a toothbrush and a bottle of water. But you’ll be happy to know I recycled the receipt.

Moral of the story: Don’t take drugs, because somebody out there loves you.
