Strippers and flowers

I asked the young man at Ace Hardware if he knew where the Strippers were????

I turned red - he laughed - and Esther reminded me that we were in a hardware store and that I needed to go to a special type of club if I wanted to find strippers.

Today, I returned to the same Ace having somehow forgotten the whole experience documented above. I went to get a pole to help create a fence for my grapes and also bought $30 worth of flowers (after I had lectured Esther about buying more things for the garden - ooops) . As I walked inside a young man wearing an "Ace Hardware" vest asked me if I had found any strippers?

I think I need to find a new hardware store to frequent :(
(The upside to this story is that I believe the same young man has a fairly significant crush on my friend Esther, thus "priced" a clay pot which had mysteriously lost its tage and was specially designed to house several different types of herbs at approximately 1/3 of the real worth in order for her to buy it).
