Great Christmas moments
For those of you who have a partner or children who can't keep their mits off their Christmas gifts before jolly St. Nick arrives, Hallmark has just the thing for you--gift bags that come with a built-in alarm system. A motion sensor will alert everyone in the house that someone is trying to sneak a peek at their Christmas presents. These handy bags come in a variety of sizes and range in price from $4.99-$6.99.
Used creatively, such as placed at the foot of the stairs with a romantic little gift, they also double as an early warning system when you're cheating upstairs with the chick next door. Nothing says love louder than a Hallmark siren wailing like a banshee urging you to quickly stuff the biatch through the window.

A very attractive girl
...in the TV commercial for an insurance company says "Call me for a free quote."
What, exactly, is a free quote? Are some insurance companies charging for a quote? Imagine this concept applied to other businesses...
You walk into a candy store, browse around for a minute and then ask:
"How much per pound are these?"
The crotchety, old man says "$8.99".
You say "Thanks" and look around a bit more. You don't see anything that interests you, so you walk toward the door.
"Ahem...that'll be 45 cents, please!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're in the dentist's chair and you mention you've been thinking about getting veneers. He reaches into a drawer and shows you photos of clients who got the work done and gives you a ball park figure. He adds $35 to your invoice.
Next, I'm going to research how much companies who do not give "a free gift" charge for their gifts.
