Expectations

I hate when something is advertised as “FREE” but you have to buy something to get it, as in: Buy 4 and get the 5th one free. It’s not free, it’s a conditional discount.

“But you said buy two and get the third one free.”
“No, I clearly stated buy three and get two, and the sign says No Refunds or Returns on Sale Merchandise.”
“But that doesn’t make sense.”
“Dear, I couldn’t state it any clearer.”

The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.
Quotation from Gloria Steinem

“To who ever is taking my money, please stop.”

“To who ever is taking my money, please stop.”

I love roadside stands that sell fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs and flowers. Some growers use an honor system: take what you want, leave some money on the table. It seems to work, since most people are honest.

The Lip Trick

I’ll be a park and thou shalt be my deer.
Feed where thou wilt, on mountain or in dale:
Graze on my lips, and if those hills be dry,
Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie.
Poem by William Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis
