Sounds like smart economics…..

Looking for a future as a lawyer.

less than a minute agoHow could you tell which was which? Maybe you could have taken two free ones.

An old family story; There was a door-to-door salesman selling encyclopedias in the 1950s. His pitch was to show you a book and say “I want to give you this book for free.” Two cousins lived on the same block. The first cousin got the pitch and refused. He called his cousin to warn him and told him the sales pitch. Second cousin, answered his door when the salesman arrived and right after the salesman said “I want to give you this book for free.” the cousin grabs the book, says “Thank-you” and closes the door. Poor salesman was left distressed for quite awhile before he got the book back…..

Can’t argue with that.

That’s kid logic for you.

Is that the law firm of Dewey Cheatum and Howe?

Skyler’s not young enough to get away with that one. And he can’t plead ignorance. Though, when I was 5, I was accused of stealing the bottles at the back of the store to trade in for the 2 penny return. The older boys did do that, but not little me.

Don’t screw with the tax man! Ya gotta pay.

Back in the day, we called that ‘liberating’.

Same logic as the current interpretation of the Second Amendment which ignores the phrase ‘A well regulated militia…’

My life of crime consisted of stealing candy when I was a kid. One lady saw me but didn’t say anything…but she glowered at me through the window as I was leaving…scared me straight!…(kinda like the old Rahway “Scared Straight” program, only it was a little old lady in my case! Lol!)

Loophole.

Skyler’s logic is quite impeccable.

It would make sense to me, except that — what’s this about only wanting one candy bar, huh?

He better hope he nevers comes up before Judge Judy. No receipt = crime.

same as the guy who made this morning’s news for shoplifting a candy bar, arrested for stealing something worth 170 yen…
