Target, Part II, Off to Utah, Kinkyman

This will be a short post, not because I don't have anything to say,which is never the case, as everyone knows. But simply because I am off to the airport for my consulting work concerning a triathlon related accident in Utah. Will report on this when I return.

Went to Target again last night to pick some stuff up I had forgotten the other day. Going to Target two times in one week is like going to the dentist two times in one week, OOOOUUUCH!!! Got my 5 items, go to the express 10 items or less, attendant standing behind the check out electronics(no smile on her face), guy next to her says, "this station is open!" But when I go to set my items on her scanner(doesn't that sound a little erotic?) she looks at me with a stern face and says, "my station is not open!!!" Oh well I am just another one of those obnoxious consumers who come into buy and help keep the doors open, so this woman can stand behind the $15,000.00 check out electronics scanner and tell me the station is not open. Got to love this modern world of, "the customer is always right mentality!!" My dad is rolling over in his grave right now just hearing this being repeated. His favorite words were, "the customer is always right!!" At least I did get to check out at one of the stations for people with over 10 items, and I didn't infringe on their space.

Also noted this morning in the newspaper: A large drug company(Kline) is having to pay a $3.4 billion, yes I said BILLION, penalty to the IRS, and get this, "it is not affecting their quarterly financial statement or their cash flow, they had tucked this away from previous profits in order to pay the fine." Can you imagine the profits these companies make off of sick people, or people who are not sick but are misdiagnosed and made sick by the doctors pumping bad medicine in them, and then having enough to pay billions out of the petty cash!! Disgusting to me and makes me want to stay real healthy!!

Also, in the same paper: Some guy writes, "I never saw a skinny cook!!"

Kinkyman for the day: Your are a hardcore Texas if......"You have a toilet seat cover in the shape of an armadillo." "Your children are named Austin, Houston, Dallas, Travis, and Maria." "Your biggest culinary decision is barbecue sauce or salsa."

Kinkyman also says he will never get married, he says he is already married to Texas!! My favorite candidate just keeps getting better!!

Next report: The Kinkster is a guest in the White House, even smokes a stogey while there!!
