I Need A Good Deal

I have started asking a lot of stupid questions lately. Just the other day I asked a colleague if he had any connections in the chunk coal business. He looked at me like I was an idiot for asking. I needed a bag of coal and wanted a deal.

Later on why I wanted a bag of coal.

The point is I am sick and tired of buying something, and later some one tells me, “You should have told me you were looking for a (fill in the blank). I have a (brother, sister, cousin, friend) in the (fill in the blank) business. I could have gotten you a great deal if you had only told me”.

Oh Yeah?

I ain’t going to let it happen again. So please comment on what you van get me cheap so I won’t have to ask you stupid questions.

One time a guy said he could get me tires cheap. I said, “Oh yeah? Order me four g 78 bla bla tires in E load rating”.

Sure enough he got a deal on the tires but in the wrong load rating. I can’t tow safely on lesser tires. So I was stuck with a good deal that was useless. I sold the tires to a buddy for 50 cents on the dollar and bought 4 more at full retail. I lost money on that good deal.

Did you decide not to use it in the Rover? You could use it around your pool in some torches. That would be cool.

On the bag of coal……

I had a large tree cut down the other day to make room for backing our new RV. I was getting coal to burn the stump down. Coal makes a very hot fire and leftovers can be used in our old coal burning toaster. Mmmmmmm…the smell of fresh toast and coal.

Just kidding about the toaster guys.

I can get you a good deal on a student loan if you want to send a kid to college. My kid is up for grabs if you're interested in giving the gift of education....
