Fresh Pineapple, Each

As I approached the doors of my local walmart on a cold and blustery late winter day my mission was to get a oil filter for my '82 ford pinto. I marched thru the doors, determined to be in and out as quickly as possible. As I dutifully walked towards the automotive section try my best not to get distracted I looked to the left towards the produce section and my eyes were immediately drawn to a center display. It was like a giant tropical mountain made of prickly golden pineapples sporting the greenest tops you had ever seen. Abort mission!!!, I said to myself, the pinto will have to wait a little longer. I checked my wallet to see what my cashflow situation looked like. Dang it..I only have a $10 and these gorgeous ladies must cost far above that. I walked towards them knowing full well that I would not be acquiring one today but thought I could at least admire them. when i got closer I could hardly believe my eyes. The price placard said $1.98!! looks like you will be coming home with me after all my succulent friend. I was so thrilled with my score that I almost forgot my oil filter. On the 20 min ride home i kept ogling this beauty sitting in my passenger seat. when I got home I couldnt wait to get straight to work carving this amazing fruit. She stood a proud 13.5" with a diameter of 4.25" and yielded 2 pounds of edible flesh. What a value! You might even say a Great Value. I thourghly enjoyed it all week long and even treated my goats to the rinds....which they ate like candy. I have gone back several times since then to get more, breaking my trip to town only once a month rule, but worth the sacrifice. My modest income doesn't allow many luxuries in life but every time i sneak a bite or two of the pineapple pieces from the ice box I feel Rich.
