At least you didn't buy a bridge in Brooklyn or shares in an anti-gravity device... :) But the next time you get thrashed, I've got some lake bottom acreage you might consider, an absolute steal....
From you, by me, *teehee*
At least, this 'sounds' like a happy ending. Beats the 'deal' a friend made years back, bought a TV in a box unviewed...
Got a TV, alright. Not the one depicted on the box exterior, and it didn't f'n work...at all. Steve was one of the original 'pieces of work'.
Got pulled over one day.
As the officer walked over to his pickup, S. gets out to chat.
The fresh brew tumbled out onto the pavement, landing sideways.
All discussion at that point was rendered moot.
Enjoy.....;)
