Brokeback Mountain Weekly Grocery Lists

Got this in an email from a friend in the US ages ago.... before Brokeback went to the Oscars. It's so funny, I just have to share it, even though by now I'm sure it must have circled the world several times....

I got this before I knew much about the movie - a gay themed movie will not get coverage in the local media, and I had not read many reports on it in the web yet.... but this joke pretty much told me the plot and the character development of the movie.

Enjoy . . .
