Black Friday

I am sleeping so soundly.  The phone is ringing "somewhere".  Then I realize it is the phone beside my bed.   You know it is great when someone calls at 2:30 AM and asks what you like in your coffee.  Oh yes, it is 2:30 AM and Kim is picking me up..........

Since Marli lives in NC now, Kim and I braved it alone out there in all that craziness called Black Friday.   Usually the 3 of us go out each year and do our shopping in 1 day.  No other day of the year can you call your daughter at 2:45AM and she answers and is shopping already.  And not only that BUT HER HUSBAND IS WITH HER.  They are newly weds this year and he really doesn't know what he is doing. Oh well,  love is grand. 

Anyway, here are some sayings I heard on Black Friday.  I know if you were out there, you probably heard some great ones too.  Please comment and let me know what you heard.

1.  I am not standing in that line that goes halfway down the side of the building, oh no not me.  I'm sitting in the truck where it is nice and warm.
2.  We should have gotten in line when the line was only half way down the side of the building.  I TOLD YOU!
3.  What do you mean you are sold out!  I got here at 3:00 AM to get my prized gift which by the way goes on sale at 5:00 AM and now you are already out of stock.  HOW CAN YOU BE OUT OF STOCK AT 3 WHEN IT DOESN'T GO ON SALE UNTIL 5? 
4.  Yes, I will be glad to buy that for you since the limit is 1 per person.
5.  No, I don't want a TV for $300.00, I want my TV to cost me $250.00, that's what I want.
6.  Yes, ma'am, you can get out of line and smoke. We'll save your place.
7.  Ma'am excuse me but I don't what you mean, you were just in line and only got out to smoke!  Yeah! Right!

We actually pulled #6 and 7 trick on a lady in line but she knew we were teasing.

Let me know what great lines you heard in your quest for the perfect gift.
