Shamus and Murphy fancied a pint or two but didn’t have a lot of money between them, they could only raise the staggering sum of one Euro.
Murphy says, “Wait a minute I have an idea”
 
He went next door to the butcher’s shop and came out with one large sausage.
Shamus said ‘Are you crazy? Now we don’t have any money at all!’
Murphy replied, ‘Don’t worry – just follow me.’
He went into the pub where he immediately ordered two pints of Guinness and two glasses of Jamison Whiskey.
 
Shamus said ‘Now you’ve lost it. Do you know how much trouble we will be in? We haven’t got any money!!’
 
Murphy replied, with a smile. ‘Don’t worry, I have a plan, Shamus’
 
They downed their Drinks. Murphy said, ‘OK, I’ll stick the sausage through my zipper and you go on your knees and put it in your mouth.’
 
The barman noticed them, went berserk, and threw them out.
 
They continued this, pub after pub, getting more and more drunk, all for free.
 
At the tenth pub Shamus said ‘Murphy – I don’t think I can do any more of this. I’m drunk and me knees are killing me!’

Murphy said, ‘How do you think I feel? I can’t even remember which pub I lost the sausage in.’

Day 1 update

I watch a lot of TV.  Do you? If you do, do you watch those cheesy Billy Mays TV ads that sell you all that stuff. The stuff that looks great and you just have to have.

I have been watching these ads for years and I can say that there is not one of them that I  did not want to buy. Seriously, I want ALL of them.

Why?

They are fabulous.  The egg cracker ( never fails, no shells ), The hose that does not kink, the smam Wow. The bullet, knives that cut a ship in half and then cut a tomato in fine slices.

Is it me? I want all of these gadgets. The cooking items, the tools, the gator grip, you name it, even the pedi-egg.

I can actually say that I have never ever sent away for any of it. I want it, but I resist ordering it. Maybe it is too much work to call in and go through the process.  I have bought some of these items in the store when they have made it retail. Sham WOW!, pedi-egg and the foreman grill, but never picked up the phone to order one.

Millions of people do every minute of the day.

My question is am I lazy, or do I have extreme willpower, or do I realize that I can buy any of these at a yard sale for 1/20th the cost down the road someday.

There are people who have houses full of this stuff and it is never opened. They just had to have one.

I think it comes down to people’s buying behaviors. I know for a fact, that I cannot go into a dollar store and come out empty handed. Those bastards get me every time. How can you pass up duct tape for a dollar. I cannot do it. Can you?
