    Asking people sarcastic questions like this one:
    Do you know why adults always ask little kids what do you wanna be when they grow up? They are looking for ideas about possible career choices themselves. HA! HA!

Now, Mr. Whiley always refers to himself in the 3rd person. Bob hates this. Bob loves that sort of thing. Also, another forum member, Blood ON The Tracks, informed me that a character on "Seinfeld" named "Jimmy" used this comedic device first.</div><div> </div><div>Why do I do this? Simple really. I always thought that speaking in the 3rd person is a great comical device to act as though a person is observing life's events from a distance above it all like a near death experience almost as if you are watching someone else live vicariously through you. In a nutshell, I am paying homage to Bob & Jimmy because I have a fondness for brilliant comedians that make you think & are kind of like the protest singers of my generation George Carlin, Bill Maher etc. etc.</div>

    Okay, this is a pet peeve of mine especially around Christmas time. Buy $75 dollars worth of our merchandise & get a "free" $100 gift card...The word "free" means you are under no obligation to buy anything right? When will companies understand this factual reality? Sigh...

      Rebates are another rip off too. Send in a receipt/proof of purchase & then wait for an eternity to get a check etc. etc. Just take the discount off the top of the big ticket item okay. Again, not a real deal here or savings either in a timely & prompt fashion either.

      Staples seems to be the best with their rebates. The last two times I bought something that was supposed to have a 10dollar visa gift card attached to it, it arrived in about 10 days. Sure it would be easier just to knock the 10.00 off at the * and let Staples collect it, but I was able to use it elsewhere so that was a plus.

      Death is very expensive no doubt. Why does it seem more expensive to put you underground vs spread your "essence" AKA ashes over the top of the ground anyway? Hmmm...
