A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart. The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.
'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife. 'They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans' he replies.
'Put them back, we can't afford them' demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.
A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket. 'What do you think you're doing?' asks the husband.
'It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,' replies the wife. Her husband retorts: 'So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price.'
uggghh....when will we ever learn
That is absolutely perfect. Thanks.
Any woman that would pay $20 for face cream is getting ripped off. 🙂

Just curious, which pirate flew your avatar flag?
Don't forget Steve Gardner's law...
A spelling or grammar error will occur in any post wherein you point out a spelling or grammar error in a previous post.

Exactly. Looks like you need some Vaniqua now. 😉
Don't forget Steve Gardner's law...
I can't taik credit for the discovery of that phenomenon. It's known as Muphry's Law.

FL/GA, PLS.
Some say Blackbreard, but me thinks it was The Dread Pirate Roberts or maybe even One eyed Willy;-)
from Wikipedia...
John Bangsund of the Victorian Society of Editors (Australia) identified Muphry's law as "the editorial application of the better-known Murphy's law"[5][6] and set it down in 1992 in the Society of Editors Newsletter.[7]
The law, as set out by Bangsund, states that:
(a) if you write anything criticizing editing or proofreading, there will be a fault of some kind in what you have written;
(b) if an author thanks you in a book for your editing or proofreading, there will be mistakes in the book;
(c) the stronger the sentiment expressed in (a) and (b), the greater the fault;
(d) any book devoted to editing or style will be internally inconsistent.[7]
It goes on to say:
Muphry's Law also dictates that, if a mistake is as plain as the nose on your face, everyone can see it but you. Your readers will always notice errors in a title, in headings, in the first paragraph of anything, and in the top lines of a new page. These are the very places where authors, editors and proofreaders are most likely to make mistakes.[5]
Muphry's law may be interpreted to be in accordance to a previous quote from Ambrose Bierce:
In neither taste nor precision is any man's practice a court of last appeal, for writers all, both great and small, are habitual sinners against the light; and their accuser is cheerfully aware that his own work will supply (as in making this book it has supplied) many "awful examples". ("Write it Right: A Little Blacklist of Literary Faults" 1909)[8]
from Wikipedia...
"A further variation states that flaws in a printed or published work will only be discovered after it is printed and not during proofreading."
Just the other day I said I need to print the mylar of my Record of Survey so I could find my mistakes. The other Surveyors said "it's true."
Good joke, and most of the letters in "aisle", mostly in the right order;-)
So this is kind of weird...
