Having been a cashier at Safeway, during the holiday season, that is indeed an *amusing* order, but by no means the strangest :-)
The ones that really made me wonder were the people buying 22lb pound *frozen* turkeys at 3pm on Thanksgiving day itself -- they were going to get that turkey cooked how? -- and the ones I really felt for were the bewildered menfolk having been sent out for [insert random spice/strange vegetable/obscure other item] who had obviously never been in the store before.
One of these days I will get the "Typical Late Night Purchase" story written.
