3. Free at Krogers at 2PM

they were giving them away.

7. Tomorrow, they'll probably give you $4.99 just to take it away.

10. This is an articial tree.

I wouldn't take one of those trees cut in September now if you paid me.

2. It reminds me of the

tacky souvenir shops in the French Quarter that have had "Going out of Business" Sale signs up for decades. I guess when 90% of your customers are tourists you can get away with it.

4. You're probably right. But put that way, 100% of us are all just passing through.

5. At this rate, after New Years, everything will be free

and what a glorious day that will be.:)

[Cyrano]

6. Nah. They'll just reduce it all another 200%.

[Uncle Joe]

8. That's even better, they will pay us to take it!

:think:

9. The capitalistic system is geared towards buying crap at 40 percent off.

If everybody bought just what they needed, the economy would fall apart.

[Cyrano]

11. Ahh, the wonders of unregulated capitalism.

12. Easter candy is a STEAL after Easter. Halloween candy after Halloween...

etc.

etc.

13. Stale Halloween candy corn was invented by dentists.

Even the Druids knew that their ancient dentists' highest income month was November when they were repairing chipped teeth.

14. Fine by me! My son's B-day is Jan. 13 and my daughter's is Dec. 28.

This works out pretty well. :)
