A customer walked out of a PetSmart store. While there were no pets with him, he was wearing a furry toupee.

Posted on April 28, 2012 by zfthrimej

The appearance of him wearing it, combined with the fact that he was leaving that place just somehow made sense, seemed unusually appropriate and unique.

A sign on the top of a store said “SAVE MAX”; so I stepped inside that store but there was no one who needed to be rescued.

Plus, there was no one in that store named Max. weird.
