Rebates
I purchased the 1st part I need in preparation of building my own computer. I got the case for $5 after a $50 rebate. My friend MW warned me about the company who is giving the rebate, he's had trouble with them. I'll gamble, anyway. I really hate rebates, they take 6-12 weeks to get your money, IF they even send it. I think I'll do something about this:
IIWK.... No more rebates, subtract the rebate amount from the retail price, and announce it as a special sale price.
Did everyone see the 2 faced kitty on the news? It was born with four eyes, two noses, two mouths and two tongues.
I noticed that Ford has bombarded the airways with a TV commercial featuring the American Idol winner. I always wonder why companies have celebrities in their commercials. I have never ever bought a product, because it was advertised by famous person, and never will. How many people do you think rushed out to buy a Ford, after hearing a song sung by the American Idol winner? I'd say NONE! Why waste their money on this advertising gimmick?
A man left for work one Friday afternoon. But it was payday, so instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending his entire pay check.
When he finally appeared at home on Sunday night, he was confronted by his angry wife and was barraged for nearly two hours with a tirade befitting his actions. Finally his wife stopped the nagging and said to him, "How would you like it if you didn't see me for two or three days?" He replied, "That would be fine with me."
Monday went by and he didn't see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results. But on Thursday, the swelling went down just enough where he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.
A wedding occurred just outside Cavan in Ireland.
To keep tradition going, everyone gets extremely drunk and the bride's and groom's families have a storming row and begin wrecking the reception room and generally kicking the shit out of each other. The police get called in to break up the fight.
The following week, all members of both families appear in court. The fight continues in the courtroom until the judge finally brings calm with the use of his gavel, shouting, 'Silence in court!'
The courtroom goes silent and Paddy, the best man, stands up and says,
'Judge, I was the best man at the wedding and I think I should explain what happened.'
The judge agrees and asks Paddy to take the stand. Paddy begins his explanation by telling the court that it is traditional in a Cavan wedding that the best man gets the first dance with the bride.
The judge says, 'OK.'
'Well,' said Paddy, 'after I had finished the first dance, the music kept going, so I continued dancing to the second song, and after that the music kept going and I was dancing to the third song, when all of a sudden the groom leapt over the table, ran towards us and gave the bride an unmerciful kick right between her legs.'
Shocked, the judge instantly responded, 'God, that must have hurt!'
'Hurt?' Paddy replies. 'He broke three of my fingers!'
Chinese word of the day

Have a great weekend and I'll see everyone on Monday.
