v.i.p. (very insecure people)
Saturday afternoon my wife and I went window shopping at the Tanger Outlet stores in Riverhead (pretending we were shopping because in this economy…). My daughter is getting married in March so my wife was looking at dressy dresses. At the Sak’s Fifth Avenue outlet store, let me repeat that, outlet store, they have a V.I.P. section. I really have to say that again. The Sak’s outlet store has a V.I.P. section. Isn’t that an oxymoran. Or is an oxymoran someone who shops in the V.I.P. section of an outlet store.
Before you know it, the maitre d’ at McDonalds will be asking if you have reservations. And in the voice of the Church Lady, “Don’t we all need to feel special?”.
