in which case , this guy thought , climbing up the inordinately long staircase , he wouldnt ever be hauling two big bags of groceries up the inordinately long staircase , kicking himself because when he came back from the grocery store , he would never have two big bags of groceries ( which he would then have to haul up the inordinately long staircase ) but instead maybe only one small bag of groceries and it wouldnt have a lot of heavy stuff in it but only a few light items , in fact , only one , noodles .
