Sounds like they had a busy weekend at Wal-Mart. When you're not shoplifting here's some other fun things to do for your next visit once you get out of jail

Get several boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's carts when they aren't looking.

When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?'

While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows where the anti-depressants are.

Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say "PICK ME!" "PICK ME!"

When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!!!"

Go into a fitting room and shut the door and wait a while; and, then, yell, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"
