Random....

Have you ever been in a situation where (during a conversation somewhere among a group) someone blurts out something totally random and unrelated to the main conversation? That's the impression I got after reading the following editoral (not written by Roy!) from the Paris News.

To the Editor:

This month I saved $598 on grocery and other items with sales coupons. I spent $139. I bought 279 items from Jan. 1 until Jan 28.

Okay, let me get this straight. Martha was totaling up her coupon savings (as well as counting the number of items she bought) for nearly a month. She saw the total savings, and was apparently impressed by the figure, enough to tell the Paris News about it.

How bizarre and totally random! I guess Martha just likes to share the details of her life with peeps - or perhaps it was a thinly disguised promotion for the use of coupons? You be the judge!
