She realized that all 3 of those items plus the condoms would infer something other than “random items” to the clerk! She’s probably blushing so hard right now, her cheeks outshine Rudolph’s nose!
At the time I bet I thought this was referencing that scene from Simpsons that was actually referencing that scene from American Graffiti that I hadn’t seen yet.
Considering the way Joyce’s parents are in this universe, I’m certain she accidentally walked in on them using all of the above. It was a memory that had been suppressed by too many mind wipes and didn’t resurface until this moment.
MY question is… what convenience store sells “bag of feathers” as an item?
Or, for that matter, functional plastic handcuffs, cowboy related or otherwise?
Cause the ones around here sure don’t. Which I know because… reasons.
Yeah, that’s what I was assuming as well. Never seen a “bag of feathers” sold there. At best a feather boa, which would work, but isn’t what Joyce said.
And again, no toy aisle in the world sells toy handcuffs that actually function. Well, except for adult toy aisles. Which is kinda my point.
One night when I was working at Big Box Store, a young man and young woman approached the checkout and separated to go through different lines. He was buying condoms and a magazine, she was buying lingerie and laxatives. That was an interesting moment.
Hypothesis: a “random” assortment of items will increase boner size
Null-Hypothesis: a non-random assortment of items will increase boner size.
(Am I doing this right? Oh, and make the “random” assortment include two blindfolds, so that we can do a double blind study.)
You mean she hasn’t picked up the riding crop yet?
Wait, why did she drop all the items? Couldn’t she hold them and accidentally dropped them or got scared by the word vaseline?
She just realized the vaseline will cause the condom to break in use.
Jumped to the comments section for this response, left satisfied.

Maybe the vaseline is leaky and it made everything slippery, and it still hasn’t occurred to her how this plan could fail.

The origin of the “flabbergasted Joyce” face right here.
I just now noticed the location is “inconvenience store”. Nice.
It’s actually remarkable that for someone so sheltered, her mind finally made the connection at all.

They did expose her to a lot of pornos.

Maybe it’s a drugstore with a cheesy toy aisle, like CVS or Walgreens.

Walmart. They’re a big seller.
That was my first thought as well.
Narrative necessity.
Here it is. My favorite It’s Walky! page.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Joyce Brown, patron saint of Freudian slips.
Love Walky’s face in the last panel.

Their purchases went together perfectly. You need a magazine to read once the laxatives kick in.
