Wii

WHEN THE Wii VIDEO GAME CAME OUT SEVERAL YEARS AGO AT $399.00 WE TALKED ABOUT IT, EVEN WENT TO THE STORE TO BUY ONE, BUT WHEN THEY WERE SOLD OUT WE LET IT GO.

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON WHEN THE GAME WENT ON SALE AT WALMART FROM $249.00 TO $199.00 WE TALKED ABOUT IT AGAIN.  I FINALLY DECIDED I’D BUY THE Wii FOR $199.00 AND THEN MARY COULD BUY THE Wii FIT PLUS PART FOR $99.00.  OF COURSE I PUT IT OFF AND DECIDED THE SECOND TO LAST DAY OF THE WALMART SALE.



I WENT TO WALMART AFTER WORK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.  I HAVE A RULE THAT KEEPS ME OUT OF WALMART FROM THANKSGIVING UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY IN MID-JANUARY.  THE CLERK, WHICH AT THAT TIME OF THE NIGHT IS ACTUALLY A SHELF STOCKER, HUNTED HIGH AND LOW, AND LUCKILY FOUND ONE LAST Wii UNIT TO SELL ME.

WHEN I WENT TO PAY, SHE WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO RING UP MY SALE.  SHE CALLED A SUPERVISOR ON THE RADIO, AND THE SUPERVISOR EXPLAINED THAT SHE HAD TO GIVE ME A $50 GIFT CARD TO COMPLETE THE SALE.

WHAT!!! ARE YOU KIDDDING ME?  THIS THING IS ON SALE FOR $50 OFF AND I GET ANOTHER $50 ON A GIFT CARD? AND I BOUGHT THE LAST ONE?

IS THIS MY LUCKY NIGHT OR WHAT?  MAYBE I SHOULD JUST HEAD BACK TO A CASINO?
