Just my freakin luck!

Sign in to disble this ad
So my wife, kids, and I are in Toys 'r Us today. I go wondering off looking at XBox stuff as they look over Barbie and the like. I find on top of a shelf a box of wireless stearing wheels with pedals a box that had been discounted as open box....$20.00 plus tax!!!! So before I grab it, a pair of goggles that you can hook up to various tv, video games, dvd players etc with stereo headphones grabs my eyes. I just have to show my wife who actually has an interest in this sort of stuff. I return to the stearing wheel to grab it and whad'a'ya know...some dude is putting it in his cart!

Just my freakin luck!

This is where the yelling 'Immigration Raid' and pulling a
badge might have induced the potential buyer to flee sans
said discounted toy.

I do have that "cop" look, I've been told. Then I guess I did used to be one.

I seemed to recall something about that cop look.

Around here, if you yelled 'Immigration Raid', half the mall
would clear out.

Consider yourself lucky. You didn't throw money at another piece plastic.

Damnit I read Toys R Us and expected to hear about a Roscoe bass being in the store or something equally rediculous.
