BM>"If you or a loved one died...." <g>
DS> Reminds me of the cartoon where the husband is trying to take a
DS> nap on the living room sofa. His wife walks in, with a shrill,
DS> whiney voice, and asks "Are you asleep??!!". Annoyed, he growls "No...dead.
DS> Leave the flowers, and get out!!" <BG>.
Ages ago we had an elderly Mall Walker sit down in one of the Furniture
Department's recliners and fall asleep. I was across the aisle in my
department, sort of keeping an eye on this guy. Furniture salesman came
up for a potential sale but left alone when saw it was the Mall Walker
and sleeping -- he mentioned to me was a good demo for other customers
the recliner was comfortable.
A bit longer and we're starting to get concerned as the Mall Walker is
still asleep; joke he died. A while longer the joke is starting to
become a serious option -- the Mall Walker is older and frail.
Furniture Guy: "Should we check for a pulse?" Me: "We?? He's in your
department!"
Good news is the Mall Walker guy wakes up and wanders off.
BM>More truth to his lines than one thinks!! My Mother "loves" to buy the
BM>various As Seen On TV items -- the good news is she doesn't pick up the
BM>phone and order; the bad news is she tried to have me order for her.
DS> I do that for my Mom now...and at times, she has enough credits
DS> from her Amazon card, that she gets the items for free!!
I've done that too: get stuff for free or significant off via my
Cashback Points on my Discover Card which is 'linked' to my Amazon
account. Always nice to get for 'free' some little adapter I need.
BM>Personally I'm of the opinion some of the items are worthwhile and some
BM>are junk; others have potential. ...Usually I can put a stop to the
BM>ordering (she's concerned about her memory so wanted the stuff from the
BM>jellyfish -- ever see a smart jellyfish? Plus there were a few things I
BM>didn't like in the comments.
DS> Did you know that jellyfish are depressed, because there are no
DS> peanut butter fish?? <G>
Ha-ha! I'll have to remember that one!
