THE SCAM GAME

Now, as you go along reading this story, it gets funnier.  Or should I say Crazier! 

We just recently went to one of these "Get Rich Pyramid Scams".  Before I get into my story, We call these people that wanted us to go to this thing, Bill and Doedoe.  And I will say this:
#1.   We had no intention of getting into this.
#2.   Doing a favor, for someone , uh, I won't go there.  LOL.  I will be nice.

To Start.  Bill and Doedoe said these people bought this house and made 6 figures a year.  Well, believe me, I was not impressed by their house, at the fact they made 6 figures a year.  I wondered what kind of house Bill and Doedoe lived in, if this house was impressive to them.  I am not putting down anyone's home.  Facts.  Math.  These people think they can quit their jobs and not work.  Try again.  This thing is a job.  You have to recruit Suckers, uh, clients.  This takes hours, money to entertain, oh, I wonder if they have noticed the price of GAS!  Oh, almost forgot, they have to buy and sell tickets for any conventions that might arise.  Like the one for this past weekend.

It was on a Tuesday Night.  We sat there for 2 hours listening to a guy on a video.  He starts out with, this isn't a Pyramid, this is a funnel.  Heck, "Still a Pyramid, just turned upside down".  Derrrrrr!  About how he went to school, cost him money, not getting any where, the pay isn't great, driving a junk car, got into this, and quit his job, now he is rich, and has a nice car.  Now, this was the same story, about himself, different scenario, every ten minutes.  B-O-R-I-N-G-! ! !   Skip actually fell asleep, as well as myself.  Until, these people at this meeting applauded for this person, on video!!  Come on,  this person, don't even know these people exist.  And, they are applauding him.  Goes a little more, then they applaud, and yell, YEAH, YEAH,  whistle.  Dang, it's a video clowns. I wanted to get up and say, "What is with you people. Its a dang video!" Almost felt like I was in some sort of cult. Eeesh!  After 2 hours of this, the guy introduces his wife who is going to talk.    People started yelling screaming, yeah, yay, wahoo, applaud- ing.  Oh boy!!  Please not another 2 hours of this.  She comes on talks for about ten minutes, and announces, they are going to take a break.  O Lord!  This is when we decided to leave.  As we were leaving,  Doedoe, asked, "When can we get together".  Ha, she had her date book out ready to write an Appointment(?) with her and Bill.   Skip told them we don't have time for this. Bill insisted on, us watching the rest of this stupid video for Suckers. OOPS, did I say that?  I apologize.  Ouch, just bit my tongue.  Anyway, I wasn't feeling well, that evening, and wanted to go, Skip wanted to go.  He told Bill and Doedoe we need to go.  As we walked out, I noticed we weren't the only couple leaving. Hmmm!  And remarked, how this was a joke.  LOL!

Sunday, came, Skip gets a phone call.  Its this couple, wants to come to our house to pick up the Video.   They said they were on their way to Kansas City, they were going to some people's house about this Pyramid thing, uh Funnel. And they needed the video.  We kind a speculate, this is a phoney story.  Hmm.  I think this is a way, to get in our home and yak yak bout this Pyramid, sorry, Funnel.  Well, they called us, WHILE, we are in church.  Instead, we told them we would meet them somewhere and give them the video. We went home picked up the video, and met them in a parking lot.  Anyway, guess what?  Hope you are sitting down for the rest of this story.  They wanted to get together.  Skip told them this isn't for us.  Okay, Here it comes.  Bill and Doedoe, said, "Well, would give us $50.00, so we can say you are our customer.  W-H-A-T-!-!-!-!   Think we better find a mirror and see if STUPID is written on our forehead.  Give me a Jake Break.


OK OK,  stop laughing!!

ANYBODY KNOW THE MORAL TO THIS STORY?
There might be more than one Moral.  I am sure there is.

After being interrupted, I don't how many times, trying to finish, I got it finished.  I am tired of editing this.

DA END

My Doctor's Visit

I wasn't feeling well today when I went to see my intestinal doctor at the clinic.  Which is in a hospital.  Skip and I were walking down the hallway.  We had gotten behind some people who were moving, like death warmed over.  Okay, the lady was in a wheel chair.  I had no problem with that.  It was the person that was pushing her.  It was almost, as if people were suppose to move out of his way, because his wife is in a wheel chair.  I wanted to go around them, because I wasn't feeling very well, my strides were short, I couldn't get around them due to the traffic from the opposite direction, coming down the hallway.  To top it off, these people smelled.  They were very rancid..  They turned same way I had to go.  But, I finally had an opening where I could get around them.  Also, the way they were moving, it appeared they were going straight to another office.  No, it was the same place.  I got in line, Skip behind me.  The guy said to Skip, something about they were here first, and, Skip cut them off.  Skip, said, no he didn't.  Also, told the man, go ahead, go ahead of us.  I am thinking, OMG, I don't feel good, and these people are making me sick to my stomach.  I wanted to tell them that so bad, almost did, but, I had to sit down.  The man told Skip he was rude.  Best part, his wife in the wheel chair, said to her husband, "No, you're the one. being rude".   As I was sitting down, a woman followed behind me, who was there with her mother at the counter.  She said she had to move, because they stunk so bad. "We know!!!"  It didn't take long before the odor permeated the whole clinic.  Thank heavens, I was called right away to the examining room.

 Please don't get me wrong.  I understand those who have to be in a wheel chair.  But some, make it a real point of it.  Any time I was moving slow due to surgery, or crutches,  I would tell people to go ahead of me, because I was slow, or whatever.  I have seen many in wheel chairs, who do the same.  But some think you owe them because they are in a wheel chair.  In this case it was the person pushing the wheel chair with the attitude.  Its almost as if, they're using this as an attention getter.  I have seen this activity many times.  A woman in a walker, was doing all she could to make noise from it, and watching to see if any one was watching her.  Another woman, she was using a walker, when no one was watching, she would actually pick it up and walk till some one see her.  Immediately put it down, and use it.   See what I mean here?

The odor issue.
I think we all know the answer to that.  Use some soap and water. I understand they may not have much money.  Find a way to get some soap.  I can remember times, we didn't have a lot of money, when we had kids.  But we kept ourselves clean, even if I had to buy the cheap and not as good of soap or detergent.

I often wonder, what the doctors and nurses do, with people like this.  Do they make a suggestion to them to bathe, or what?
