Proof of Evolution

Has anyone seen the new shopping baskets at some supermarkets? The ones that roll? They look kind of like this:



Yes, it seems shopping baskets have evolved. No longer confined to a stationary existence wholly dependent on the whims of the overindulged masses, they have adapted. Their sprouting of wheels and new-found mobility is only the beginning. Next thing we know, they'll become automated and follow us home, much like a stalker, but without the drama. Unlike stalkers, however, they will come bearing chips and salsa, and not little dolls with locks of your hair.

Though I have to tell you, there are few things as emasculating as a grown man using one of these to wheel behind him his skim milk, cherry yogurt, and 100-calorie packs of Oreos. Is it that much trouble to lift and carry? Maybe if people got that little bit of exercise, they could indulge and go for the 1% milk. Trust me, it's worth it.
