People ???

What is wrong with people? What makes them function as they do? What makes them say the things they do? I was checking out at my local Walmart this evening. The young lady cashier noticed the Bob Marley Shirt I was wearing and said "My brother got arrested for wearing a shirt just like that." What do you say to something like that? I continued gathering my groceries for which I just paid. She continued, "He was doing forty-seven in a forty and the cop said 'you look like a trouble-maker.' So he never wore the shirt again because he did not want to go to prison." I took a brief moment to contemplate why Walmart's management thought she was coherent enough to interact with the public. I left, groceries in cart.....then it rained.
