Once upon a time, in a supermarket not so far away, there was a husband and wife who were doing their weekly shopping, when the husband picked up a case of beer and put it in their cart.

"What do you think you're doing?" asked the wife.

"They're on sale; only $10 for 24 cans," replied the husband.

Feeling somewhat annoyed at what she perceived as her husband's drinking problem, the wife snaps back, "Put them back! We can't afford them!" Submissively the husband listens to his wife and puts the beer back, and they continue shopping.

A few aisles further on, the wife picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the shopping cart.

"What do you think you're doing?" asked the husband.

"It's my face cream; it makes me look beautiful," replied the wife.

The husband retorts, "So does 24 cans of beer, and it's half the price!"

And that's when they called for the Clean Up in Aisle 5.
