"I have a 15% off coupon," the lady insisted. Checkout Girl was dubious. "15% off what?" "Everything," said the old lady.
Checkout Girl wasn't convinced. "Can I see the coupon?" "Oh, I don't have it with me," the old lady said. "I live in Claremore and I left it there at home. Can I use it anyway?"Checkout Girl's eyes said, "You didn't even bother to bring your fictional coupon with you? This is the lamest fraud ever!". Her mouth said, "I think we need to have the coupon here at the time of purchase."
They bickered for a few more minutes before the old lady finally gave up. My wife finally made it to the front of the line with her purchases.
"So," my wife said, "I've got a 12-and-a-half percent coupon at home, can you hook me up?"
It worked. My wife is the best shopper EVER.
I think this idea sounded better in my head that it turned out. We'll see.
I was driving behind a car with a bumper sticker that read, "And on the eighth day, God created the Sooners!" It occurred to me that this was the most marketable kind of joke in the world. Simply put another team's name there and sell to a whole different fan base.
"Heck," I thought. "You could put pretty much any noun there."
I decided to see if I was right. Would you buy any of these bumper stickers?
