some like it hot

In the pharmacy this morning, the lady in line in front of me only had two small bags of M&M's.  She waited for the cashier to give her total before dropping her purse on the counter with two hands to start rummaging through it for money.
 
"Do you mind if I pay for your candy?" I asked.  "I'm in a hurry."
 
Of course, this only slowed matters as the old woman stopped her rummaging to look at me disapprovingly.  "Are you ok?" she asked me.
 
"I'm great, but I've got a hot pizza in the car."
 
She went back to her rummaging.
