While shopping for groceries, the aisle was partly blocked by a restocking cart and someone's grocery cart.

There was a middle-aged man using the aisle too. My guess is he was in his early 50s, slightly balding, bespectacled and had a bad haircut and a cheap trench coat.

I excused myself as I passed by him with my cart.

A second after I passed between the two carts, he's in front of me. He opens his rat-like mouth full of rotting teeth and, in Italian-accented English, says (words to the effect of):

"Read the paper in three weeks and you'll save a lot of money. At least 10 per cent. And remember, the second coming of Jesus Christ will give us all eternal life!"

I smiled politely and avoided eye contact.
