HUSBANDS AND SEARS.......A Love Affair.

Okay what is it with husbands and Sears....Men flock to Sears and Craftsman crap like

us ladies flock to Louis Vuitton and Chanel......

Only the stuff we buy serves a purpose.....

Which brings me to today's visit to our local Sears Service Center

to drop off our steam cleaner that breaks more often then works....

I leave the husband for two minutes to turn in the broken machine and next thing I know he has the young kid salesperson going through boxes looking for who knows what?

Not only is this a drop off service center but leave it to Sears to sell

re-conditioned crap that other people have returned....

Hey.....that's where the husbands come in....Sears knows they have a market for this stuff....

That's when I see kid salesperson bring out a big box from the backroom.....Was I the only one to notice what the big box said.......

Now I don't know about you ladies but when someone is trying to sell me something that has

been "re-conditioned"....I wouldn't take a box that says "DAMAGED" on the side if they gave it to me for free....

Are you with me on this one.....

So I hear Boob #1 behind the counter say to Boob #2 in front of the counter....

"Oh just ignore that it's fine"......

followed by Boob #2 saying....

"Oh Okay"....

Now the item in question works with a big ass battery.....does the battery come with the item....

NO.

Why would it........this way Sears can sell you additional crap so item can work when you get it home....

So.....next thing I see husband out in front of the store on the sidewalk with "kid salesman"

rooting through a bin of Craftsman tool bags....

Not just any tool bag......inside you get a drill and a flashlight....the needed battery and a

charger all for $39.99......

Now how can any husband worth their weight in power tools pass up such a deal....

I was offered 3 bags of trash compactor bags so I took him up on that offer and we are now the proud owners of this.........

Yes......a Die Hard truck.....minus a battery to make it work for $39.99

so for a total of a little under $80.00 we now have a toy truck

to torment the dog and a new flashlight.....

Oh I forgot the tool bag and the 19.2 Volt Battery so that the truck isn't just a big useless

piece of plastic......

You Gotta Love Sears.

HUSBANDS WITH FAULTY MEMORIES......

This morning this is what showed up on my doorstep......beautiful flowers....... Later on in the day the mailman......delivered these little Halloween Goodies.....

Included were 2 Halloween/Anniversary Cards......

From the Daughter.......

No point in getting married on a major holiday when the day comes and the husband says when he sees the flowers being delivered......

"Oh.....is today Halloween?"..........

Thanks daughter!

Here are a couple of great contributions from Cheri:























A Head for Numbers:

The math teacher saw that little Johnny wasn't paying attention in class.

She called on him and said, 


'Johnny! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?'

Little Johnny quickly replied, 'NBC, FOX, ESPN and the Cartoon Network!

Where The Wild Things Are

Where are the Wild Things?

They should make a new children's story.

The Wild Thing is in the guestroom, watching football on tv. He's the Husband (or aka "Dad", to the little ones) and this is what happens when he doesn't shave (or shower) on a Saturday.

Things That Go Boom.

Not too long ago I was in a car accident. I was at a red light, waiting to make a right hand turn and a car hit me from behind.

Both my Husband and my Dad asked: "Did you see them coming?"

I think this serves to demonstrate that men and women operate automobiles very, very differently. How often do you find yourself sitting at a red light, waiting to make a right turn, looking in your rearview mirror to see whether someone is going to come up from behind and hit you?

It's just like how men won't sit with their back to a door!

Boo!

Stupid Thing # 2046:


Is it just me, or does your Husband also have the keen ability to sniff out whatever Halloween candy that you've bought (and hidden) and then eat it all well before Halloween?



Hello, I bought it to give away to *kids*!!!

Go Buckeyes!

Cheri says:

A friend sent this to me and I thought it was too funny not to share.

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his Sweatshirt..

Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, 'What setting do I use on the washing machine?'

'It depends,' I replied. 'What does it say on your shirt?'

He yelled back, ' OHIO STATE ! '
