Fido Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 True story Kip: My wife was at Home Depot and there was a hand written sign over the appliance section. "10% or 15%" and in smaller writing just below each percentage, 10% off for 2 appliances or 15% for three". My wife asked for a quote on a washer and dryer set. The clerk looked at the sign and said "Oh, I guess you should have the 15%" and wrote up the quote that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 True story Fido While stationed in the US we were exiting a Target store at the cash behind a line of people. As we got closer I noticed there was a bin of those little air freshners right before the cash. There was a sign on the bin that read "3 for $1.00". I picked one of the little widgets up and read the price sticker...$0.33. When we got to the cash I mentioned this to the girl who smiled and promptly advised me that if "you bought 3 you would get the discount of "3 for a dollar". Naturally I countered with"but they originally only cost 33 cents". She politely smiled and again stated that I would be better off to go for the bargain. As I was getting nowhere, I said I would only take one...she rang up 33 cents...I waited a moment and told her I changed my mine and would take another...she rang up 33 cents. I asked Scuba 02 if she wanted one for the Rec room, she noddded so place another on the counter...the cashier rang up another 33 cents. We paid the bill, and the cashier smiled said, " bu-bye, yu'all have a nice day" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deicer Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 They Walk Among Us! Natural Born Citizen Since we're past the presidential campaign...some political humor might be in store. The following is a funny and true story occurring in an AP Government class at Santa Fe High School In one civics class, the young adults were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United States. It was pretty simple. The candidate must be a natural born citizen and at least 35 years of age. However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. The class was just taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating... "What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?" ...and they walk among us and vote!
