I go down these paths, so you don’t have to, still, it’s good to about them.
Norman! I got Norman comming outta my ears, well I did, I know this young fella who got married almost 2 years ago, still haven’t met his wifey, be sneaky in conversation I asked as new couple what you short of, this what he said ” well we only have plastic forks and paper plates, couple 4/5 water glasses from a 2nd hand store (real rich people here). Later on ran into him, said the wifey was very for the full set of silverware with the tray container, not a mark on it. He said, the wifey said, I don’t know what we need 8 cups with matching saucers, we don’t get a lot of company.
Kinda like a Kit-Kat
I gave them 8, kept 4 I tried to give them some other dishes like full sets of tea cups with serving tray, matching creamer and sugar, and the frigging the tray to serve it on, she wanted no part of it.
Ever notice how Women drink coffee, they stick their finger through the hole, guys, we just wrap our meaty hands around the cup, uncouth or maybe we just not civilized enough, hell I don’t know. He also mentioned they have new baby, and thats when I thought to myself, do I talk her, I had said him, tell your wifey, ” yeah well, just never know”. That’s when a song came to mind
I MET HER AT THE PINE GROVE
ONE HOT NIGHT IN MAY
SHE WAS A BLONDE HAIRED FINNISH GIRL
FROM DOWN IN CHAMPION WAY
SHE WAS SHORT AND BROAD OF BEAM
JUST LIKE A JACKP1NE STUMP
THE BOYS ALL FLOCKED AROUND HER
LIKE THE SEAGULLS AT THE DUMP
I TOLD HER I can’t POLKA
CAUSE IM JUST TOO DRUNK TO DANCE
SHE BOUNCED ME ALL AROUND THE FLOOR
TILL I ALMOST SHIT MY PANTS
I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER THAT NIGHT
AND ASKED HER FOR A DATE
I TOOK HER TO MY UNCLE’S CAMP
AND NOW she’s THREE MONTHS LATE
SHES LATE she’s LATE
OH LORD she’s THREE MONTHS LATE
I TOOK HER TO MY UNCLES CAMP
AND NOW she’s THREE MONTHS LATE
3. I SAID SHE WAS MY FIRST LOVE
SHE SAID SHE’D SHOW ME HOW
SHE LEARNED SOME FROM THE MAKI BOYS
AND SOME FROM WATCHING COWS
I FIRED UP THE SAUNA THREW SOME
WATER ON THE ROCKS
THEN I TOOK OFF EVERYTHING
EXCEPT MY WOOLEN SOCKS
I DRANK ANOTHER SIX-PACK
AND SHE STARTED LOOKING GOOD
SHE TOLD ME LAY DOWN ON THE BENCH
I WONDERED IF I SHOULD
SHE BEAT ME WITH SOME CEDAR BOUGHS
AND THEN I COULDNT WAIT
NOW IM ALL SORE AND BLACK AND BLUE
AND NOW she’s THREE MONTHS LATE
SHE DRAGGED ME TO THE ALTAR I FOUGHT HER ALL THE WAY
HER DADDY AND HER BROTHERS CAME
AND TOLD ME WHAT TO SAY
NOW HE WORKS FOR C.C.I.
WHERE THE PAY IS REALLY GREAT
HES GOTTA FEED THOSE 15 KIDS
AND A WIFE THAT’S THREE MONTHS LATE
Here’s an example of ” yeah well ya just never know This Uncle Earl (motorcycle crazy)
1932
full 10 years younger than my mother
What, Grampa had a lot of oats to sew, sewed he did, then or now, thirfty was/is still a way of life, unless you’re ILLEGAL or political class. With this amount of dishs, thinking she had to sneak them in, we weren’t rich people, well not with coin, I may have found her secret, 5 full shoeboxes of full S&H green stamps, looked she was planning on more dishes.
Do notice window display
There was man and woman over for supper when I was lil yoop, she had pot-roast with potatoes, the good stuff, after supper the guy asked ma you have any foil, why I’m going to take the left over pot roast home. Talk about flipping a switch, she tore into him, what I remember mostly is ” that’s my husband’s lunch tomorrow on the boat, get the hell the out of my house. I never seen them after that. Whatever happened to S&H green stamps, here’s good summary:
When Warren Buffet learned that 60 BILLION stamps were “licked and pasted” by people trying to save money, he went straight for their pocketbooks like the predator he is. Secondly, when he learned that brothels and mortuaries were distributing stamps he is quoted, “I felt I found a sure thing.” By 1979, Buffet (Berkshire Hathaway) owned 60% of Blue Chip Stamps (a haven for lower income shoppers). Does the slime get any more slippery? Happily he lost his shirt on this investment. 1980 sales = $19,400,000 1990 sales = $ 1,500,000 2006 sales = $ 25,920. In other words, he screwed over an enormous number of low income shoppers.
Safe to say
Many Americans are Thrifty low income shoppers
This couple here, reminds me much of the young fella I know who has a wifey I haven’t met.
Thrifty makes beautiful table settings
