The Sale

 
The sale today starts at nine. I was first in line. The doors opened and I was gone, I looked up and down the rows and rows and saw nothing. I asked a clerk for my item, oh, he said, we are sold out. Darn it! How can that be! _______________________________ July 31, 2015 Fibonocci

well at least you didn't camp out for three days....then you may have been pissed enough to get the 12 gauge....and proceed to shoot up everything in sight....that would have annoyed everyone and just wouldn't be right....lol....I enjoyed this very much....;)

I think we have all been there...I always think there was some sort of false advertising associated when it happens to me.
