Ya know, Paul, I can see any combination of the two working (condoms + beer = "gonna get me some!"; condoms + diapers = "eight is enough!"; diapers + beer = "kid's driving me to drink!"), but you're right. The three together... hoo boy.
But did the guy seem in a real rush to pay and go? I'd've wanted to start a betting pool on which he considered the real emergency, and which was "while I'm here?"

I always enjoy asking the checkout girl "Is this enough toilet paper for this much food?"

It was the cigarettes that brought him out in the middle of the night, but he forgot them when he remembered the diapers, and had to come back for them later.
(I always tell my wife if its more that three things I need a list)

At least it is not as shameful as when, during my single days, I allowed a girlfriend to talk me into going to the store to pick up a half gallon of double fudge ice cream in the middle of a blizzard!
The store clerk seeing this one item ask me if I was crazy, and at that point, I had to agree with her accessment that I was. And no, the girlfriend was not pregnant (or fat).

Saw somebody behind me in line at a grocery store after midnight in Charleston one night come dressed in club clothes with an ID wristband from a club/bar in town to buy mayo and something else that didn't go with it (forgot what right now.)

Huh. A couple of times a week, I would stop at 7-11 around 4:30 am for coffee. A huge transvestite would arrive by taxi and buy about 30 candy bars, which would be flung all over the counter. Definitely, a sweet tooth.

Uh, that guy was me...
Well, not this time, but I have bought that exact same list before. Pretty typical for a newborn's parents, I'd say.
When my rug rat was about 6 months old my parents took her for a weekend so my wife and I could have a break, and as I was on the way to the store to get some beer and condoms (A combo I think we've all picked up at some point or another), she called to remind me that the kid needed diapers as well. Not that odd, once you think about it.
BUT...
If the guy was picking up adult-sized diapers we've got a whole other scenario going on, and I hope he wasn't on the way to the pet store next.
Run, Lemmiwinks, run!

oh this is easy.
1) the diapers for the obvious reason.
2) the beer, since mom is up anyway
3) the condoms, hoping to take advantage of the beer influence. (once the baby goes back down, of course)

Worst shopping list ever for my brother and me:
Can Opener
Canned Dog Food
Big Bottle of Maalox
When we realized what that looked like in the buggy, we started arguing over who was going through the checkout with it...

At our supermarket, we have those self-check aisles, where the scanner reads the bar code and you check your own stuff out. I went there a few months ago with my 19 year old son, who had never seen it before. He noticed for the first time that when you scan an item, there's a female voice that announces the price of the item loud enough for people within 15 feet to hear. He joked that it was a good thing it didn't announce what the item was. You can just imagine with the New Orleans guy's basket -- "Beer! Diapers! CON-DOMS!!!"

Actually saw a guy checking out in front of me with a cart FILLED with balogna, bacon, mayonaise and white bread. At least twenty pounds of the stuff. Nothing else, just balogna, bacon, mayonaise and bread.
He was at least 400+ lbs., so I doubt if it was his version of Atkins --he did have bread.

my best sale ever working at a mini-mart was:
Yoohoo
Swisher Sweets
Three condoms
And to make it better, the guy made some comment about how those three ingredients would make for a rockin' night.
