Stuck in line at Walmart
I stopped to get the following items: Hartz Joint Maintenance for my ancient dog, a box of Special K, and a can of WD-40. At the checkout, the cashier (ridiculously) asked if I was over 18 as the register display waited with a "Y/N". Huh? I had to ask and it turns out that you need to verify your age to purchase a can of WD-40 now.
I can only assume this is to keep kids from "huffing" the ubiquitous lubricant, but c'mon already. There must be a can of WD-40 available in every American home. Once again, the good intentions of the nanny state override the rough reality.

This State is just so depressing..Did you know you must show ID to buy a lighter? I know of only one place that actually enforces the law ( Cumberland farms in Granby ). I, with my grey hair and wrinkles had to dig out my Drivers License to buy a BIC lighter.
