Lowes trivia

While at Lowes this weekend (for the FOURTH time -- we suck), we were wandering around, waiting for our paint to be mixed. While doing so, we discovered the following fun facts:

1. You can buy a whole toilet for less than you can buy 90% of the sink faucets they sell at Lowes. That just doesn't seem right.
2. They no longer use that smelly pink stuff that the janitor used to use to soak up vomit when you were in school. Now they use white stuff, and it does not smell. Besides soaking up vomit, it can also be used to absorb paint, should someone you know have a can pop out of their arms like a jack-in-the-box.
3. Paint is not returnable. Do not believe the lies they tell you on Trading Spaces.

Also, a dilemma occured. I asked a lowes salesperson where I could find trash bags. Before she could answer, another lowes salesperson walked by and said, "aisle 4". She then said "aisle 3". Now, I asked her first. But Mr. Aisle 3 projected much more confidence in his directions. Who to trust?
