Live Action Verducci

first of all id like to say that i just saved my wife $30 on her text books. how did i do this you may ask? i went to http://www.fetchbook.info/ . i went there and entered in her isbn numbers and they gave me the cheapest prices at classbooks.com. usually i find that buy.com has the cheapest prices on books. anyways...on to the main event for the evening.

I went car shopping tonite. stacey got a video tape in the mail today talking about how north gate ford was having a huge sale and how we could buy a car for only $39 down and monthly payments of only $139. i was like "wow! i bet im gonna get ripped off. lets go hun." so we ditched the kids at grandmas and hiked up our skirts and headed over to northgate ford. now ive never gone car shopping before. ive always veiwed car salesman with the same high esteemed outlook that i take on child rapists and telemarketers and poloticians (like our amazing g.w.) and that white shit that collects on you lips when your really thirsty. boy was i right. the thing that really saved me was all my verducci experience. i went in with an outrageously low price to begin with. it was amazing how close they came to it by the 4 try. the guy was like " i dunno, but let me see what i can do for ya." which he would then go talk to his boss and they would look at each other and pretend they were doing something important and hed come back and say well i can getcha this and this. and id say no,,, i dont think i can quite afford that... and hed say well common ya gotta give me something to work with here. so id raise my estimate by a dollar or two. and go lower his buy 50 or so. i was luaghing the whole time. wearing my bob shirt that says "Life is unfair, You deserve better, Other people are stupid, You're always right. Buy Bob" i figured this would have been a clue to the guy that he was trying to sell a comb to a bald man. but he was determined. after two hours of negotiating he finally came to realize that he had been out smarted and had wasted the past two hours of his time. did i mention that this guy was from minnesota. infact everyone working there was from minnesota or some other state. nobody was from port huron. they were all just a bunch of hired mercenaries. a bunch of traveling salesman. anyways.. when they guy finally did give up he went and got his boss to come size me up. unfortunately by that time i was laughing so hard i could no longer disguise it so i think the gig was up. the boss apologized to me that they couldnt find anything to fit my budget. but that there might be something tommarrow that would come in that would. he told the guy to set me up with an appointment and everything. i think though that the guy had figured me out by then cuz he didnt bother to. im debating on going back tommarrow just to waste some more of there time. anyone wanna come? ~couch.

"so would i be horrible if i got laid?......." ~ek
