In a bit about Walmart (WMT) on his Live in Houston album comedian Louis C.K. referenced the numerous and disparate array of items available under that single blue roof. “Hi I need a jar of mayonnaise a stopwatch and a bible ” he’d ask a hypothetical Wal-Mart sales associate. “I'd like some road flares and a pair of pink panties. A case of motor oil and a blonde wig…and a glass eye.” But Louis C.K. could have taken the joke about one-stop-shopping a little further — imagining the big box retailer also offering an unlikely combination of services like …
