Lifesavers (or maybe Fruit tingles)

 

There used to be this ad for Lifesavers (or maybe Fruit tingles) where these kids were roaming around the streets trying to work out the quickest way to get to the shop so they could buy Lifesavers (or maybe Fruit Tingles). They figured out that a cannon would be pretty quick.

So they get hold of a cannon, and the smallest one dons a bike helmet and gets inside the cannon. They light the fuse, and then fire her from the cannon.  As they watch her disappearing, one of them turns to the other and says:  I hope she makes it to the store.

Anyway, I’m just about to send Phoebe my last set of summer samples.  I hope they make it to her this time; that they don’t fall into the black hole of Chullora post office sorting facility.  I don’t think that Chullora has fully recovered from closing down the big Metro twin drive-in.
