Sample Zombies

Sample Zombies are the mindless creatures that derive their primary sustenance from free food samples in stores. Generally, they are harmless to bystanders as their primary focus is the free food. But occasionally, when herded together, they can emit noxious gas and block aisle ways - causing disruption to folks who are actually there to shop.

A sense of horror rushed over me when I realized I was shopping in Costco at lunch time. Droves of sample zombies converged to feast on the free offerings, clogging the aisles as they devoured samples as fast as they came out of the toaster ovens. I raced for the safe zone where samples of salad were being dispensed. Much like vampires fear garlic, sample zombies avoid anything with fiber.

We Can Do It!

A term used by contractors, fabricators or other people in any service industry which translates into: "We CAN'T do it -or- It won't be what we promised -or- We'll never get it done on time (if at all) -or- Once your deposit check clears, you won't see us again until you take us to small claims court".
This term is usually said quickly and excitedly 'WeCanDoIt!!!' ; and used throughout the United States, but is very prevalent in the Southern California region.
