Money Making Sale
A good friend
of mine phoned me and asked if I would like to go to a town 60 miles away and
take a look at a giant sale. They
were selling computer equipment, he said, for ridiculously low prices, so of
course I said yes. It just so
happened that we were planning to go to town that very day for other reasons
and made plans to stop by the sale on the way back. Turns out we
had to go out of the way quite a bit and when we finally arrived at the sale,
we went in and a lady at a table said:
“You will each have to pay $7 to get in.” We laughed and went back to the car. I guess I’d never had to pay to look at things that were on
sale! I CAN see where one could make
money charging to look at things they may or may not buy! |
True, Funny, but Sad
A lady over seventy years of age drove 26 miles to visit a certain church one Easter Sunday morning. She got out and unloaded her walker and unfolded it so she could walk into the church. Not wanting
to walk a long ways, she sat down on the back pew and folded her walker up
and prepared to enjoy the service.
Within a few minutes some people walked up and said: “You’ll have to move, this is where we
sit.” She kindly apologized and
unfolded her walker, stood up and moved out to the middle aisle. By now people were crowding in and filling
up the seats. She finally managed to
find another spot and once again sat down and put her walker away. Not a minute had passed before someone
else said: “You’ll have to move, this
is our spot.” Behaving
exactly like a Christian should, and not wishing to make a scene she once
again unfolded her walker and made her way out into the aisle, finally
seating her self near the front. Most
people would have walked out! I’ve
pastored several churches and attended church all my life and I’ve never
encountered such rudeness anywhere.
Would to God that enough visitors would come to church that we’d have
to get out folding chairs for the regular attendees! Calypso |

Telemarketers
Let me say
that I have nothing against people who make their living by marketing
products over the telephone. My son
has done that for years. But the
craziest calls I and other’s have ever and still receive, go something like
this: “This is your last
warning! Your new car warranty is about
to expire! Please press one on your
phone to speak to a representative about renewing your warranty. Otherwise press two to remove your name
from our list.” Well that
would be fine if they took the time to dig up data on all who owned 1-3 year
old autos. But when they call people
like myself who have not purchased a new car in twenty years…and others who
have never bought a new vehicle, it gets ridiculous! What’s more, I have pressed “two” to be
removed, AND asked to be removed but they still call… One lady went through the call as if she
wished to renew her warranty on her car and when they asked the make and
model she replied: “You should know, you’re the ones calling with the
information.” THERE OUGHT TO BE A
LAW!!! |

Free Dr Pepper!
Dr Pepper is one of my favorite
drinks. The other day some friends
and myself stopped at an eating establishment and I ordered a large Dr Pepper
and another item. Much to my surprise,
when I paid for the food, the lady handed me a coupon good for one free
medium Dr Pepper! Now that was a nice
surprise! Several days
later we went back and my friend placed our order, mentioning a medium Dr
Pepper for me. He also very clearly
stated: “I have a coupon for a free Dr Pepper.” The lady said: “What does it say on it?” Nothing wrong here… A very nice reward… Just a funny answer. We laughed for thirty minutes, but you can
bet I will go back there for lunch!!!
Their promotion works! |
