Just for You


I went down the hill to see Bill the Google Master at his auto shop. He’s been extolling the benefits of grocery shopping at Von's Market for weeks now. They have a value program called Just For You that he loves and talks about at any opportunity. 
            Bill will lose his train of thought mid sentence and blurt out prices from the program, “Progresso Soup, two for a dollar,” 
            “Yeah, but think of the sodium content,” I countered.
            “No! it’s light.”
            Bill showed me a Mustang he was bidding on, on Ebay. There was a video presentation attached to it. 
            “What do you think? Should I buy it?
            “You already have a Mustang, what are you going to do with it?”
            “No this one is way better. I’m going to drive this one.”
            I tried to talk him down, but realized that you can’t talk sense to a gear head when it comes to buying cars.
            “Lucerne yogurt $2.47 each. They're giving it away!”
