Embarrassing Reefer Problems

[H2OPlayar]

Explaining to the checkout person at Trader Joes that the two vodka fifths I am getting are for my reef tank and I am not an alcoholic, because my wife did all the shopping there two days ago and I wasn't getting anything else. The checker behind him had heard of carbon dosing before, so I had some corroboration for my story.

At least I was wearing a reefing shirt at the time too.

At least you didn’t get in trouble with the police like this guy in the UK:

It’s not like you had a bottle open and were consuming it at the register before getting in the car to drive away...
Unless, you were...

You can only use that excuse once there ! Anymore and you will just look more guilty Ha! Maybe just include Kahlua, OJ or cranberry in the purchase since most alcoholics don’t mix lol!

The fun thing about Trader Joe’s is how the register people make small talk about what you’re buying. Also can be the not so fun thing.

I can’t use that excuse, they just tell me to put the bottle back… lol

That’s why I use vinegar (and I don’t seem to get cyano blooms with vinegar)

I got you beat.

We used women's stockings for vent covers at Reed Mariculture, as well as Vaseline to grease things. I need a turkey baster for transferring pods, so I go that as well. Plopped down a dozen stockings, a couple containers of Vaseline and a turkey baster on the conveyor and waited for the questions to begin lol

Fifths?! You gotta pump those numbers up! I just got 2x of the 1750ml bottles of "Burnetts" vodka for $14.99 each, which has to be the most insane alcohol to price ratio of any single alcoholic product available to the average consumer in the Bay area.
