I remember the first time I went shopping I was at the register with a line of people behind me and instead of saying "Eine Tuete, Bitte" I said "Eine Tote, Bitte." Of course, everyone laughed at my mistake and the cashier explained what I had requested. I didn't make that mistake again, I can assure you. Heh heh. Anyway, that list of items reminds me of shopping back in Swabia. * I first lived in Germany back in 1985-6 in Oberensingen, a little town on the Neckar.
