Typical

And it was on sale.

“Guess what’s in this box. ‘Cause I don’t know. Somebody named “Schrödinger” once owned it.”

A bargain at twice the price.

My husband buys tools with the same logic. :D

But will you be able to get parts for it?

And, like a lot of ‘last ones’ I found, they are still in my garage waiting for the big sale.

I have a blatantly sexist, tongue-in-cheek article I wrote called, “A Man’s Guide to Shopping.” It pulls out almost every stereotype in the “other book” (whatever that book is) that’s part of the cliché.

In it I write: A man will spend $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will spend $1 for a $2 items she doesn’t need.

It’s like the old joke about Joe and Don. Joe is trying to sell Don an elephant. Don says, “I live in a tenth floor apartment in Manhattan. Why do I need an elephant?” Joe says, “Act now, and I’ll throw in a second whole elephant absolutely free.” Don replies, “NOW you’re talking!”

We could wrap it up and give it as a Christmas present.

Remember, a bargain on something you don’t need, is still a bargain.

We never know what to get your brother for Christmas -this might be perfect!

She: Having said that…I’m leaving you. Goodbye!

There is nothing more fun than finding something on an online auction with the wrong item description.

Don’t laugh, there could be a lost Da Vinci sketch inside that box. Its happened before

They said the previous owner was Pandora.

It goes zip when it moves, bop when it stops, and whrrrr when it stands still…..

“…so it MUST be popular.”
