anyone confronts you about selling the milk, claim you're sure you
cleared it in advance. Say the store manager "Eustace"
told you over the phone that it would be okay. Insist you really
spoke on the phone to someone named Eustace who said he was the
store's manager. Take several minutes to be convinced that he wasn't
genuine, and then insist you "knew all along" that his
voice was "shifty" and he couldn't be trusted. Start swearing
