The Sedated Ape

Well, another of my business ideas went bust, but I guess this time I don’t really have anyone to blame but myself.

 I should have been more specific with the name of the store. Instead of calling the store “The Everything is a Dollar Store” I should have  called it “Each of the INDIVIDUAL items that  are for sale are priced at one dollar EACH”. 

That would have been a pretty long name for a store, but at least that way some kid with four quarters wouldn’t have been able to buy the entire store for a buck.

We live and learn, I’ve noticed.

You know what I’ve never really been able to understand?

Arabic.

 What? Were you expecting some Seinfeld-esque humorous observation about our daily life and foibles? I don’t really pay enough attention to  the world around me to have very many observations like that

They say that possession is 9/10ths of the law.  If  that’s true, you would think that it would be perfectly legal to  go into a bank with a gun and demand 10% of all the money they have in the vault.

Don’t bother to try it,  because it doesn’t really work like that.  Apparently the bank’s high priced lawyers found a way to close that loophole a long time ago.

It’s a shame too, I really could have used that ten percent for the bail.
