Map to the promised reality

What is the strange, almost magnetic, pull that store has over an American Samoa map? How could a map entice someone to spend $5, only to trash it a few minutes later? Does this same individual tell bums to get a job? He should be telling them to get map.

Hypothetically, what if the purchaser did somehow lose a giant map to an island, and then set out on his venture, only to get to Canadian Samoa and have to turn around for lack of directions? I wonder what his facial expression would look like ... possibly confused, even remotely pissed off ... especially since all he wanted was smoothie.

You guys should keep it, maybe even laminate it ... there are powers there not to be reckoned with.
