What does your total score mean?

0 points: You are in no way a supermarket dick. Congratulations.

1-4 points: It’s still okay for you go into a store unsupervised. See a doctor about your dickish traits while they’re still treatable.

5-8 points: Cause for alarm. You may still enter a supermarket unattended. You will, however, be under constant surveillance.

9-12 points: You’re awful. You must post a bond before you enter any supermarket. The bond will be forfeited to your surrounding shoppers, should you ever run up a score of nine or more points.

13-16: You’re nearly erect. You must post a double bond before going into any supermarket. You must also be accompanied by a guard who will taze if you accumulate a score of thirteen or more points.

17-31: You dick! You will not be allowed inside any store. You will be fitted with an ankle device that will incinerate you if you enter any supermarket.

  1. This quiz should be mandatory for everyone entering the grocery store so the supermarket police can weed out the dicks! Stores free of dicks could then market themselves as “dickless.”

  2. I think there should be supermarket police. 1000 hours of community service for any of these infractions and jail time if they go out in the parking lot and block traffic because they don’t know how to back out of their parking space.

    1. Not much I can do about that, Donna. It’s outside the purview of this quiz. May I suggest carrying around a sonic obliterator? As of press time, there are no federal or state restrictions on this crowd-pleasing weapon.
