Small Pox? Who cares! SALES!
Hey people,
I just went for a walk thinking to myself : gee I'd love a new pair of earrings, ya know, to jazz things up a bit...(yes, my life is that boring) So I walked into the good ol' Hudson's Bay Company, grabbed a pair of black socks that were on sale (2 prs for $5! Bargain!) and then over to the earring counter I went.
I found a lovely pair - very Hickteeth-esque - and they cost $16. I know this is not alot! But I just don't have lots of extra cash to be spending on frivolous things! But I thought a-la-women's-product commercial "I'm worth it!" so I took them and marched over to the check-out.
My total with tax came to $10.32 ! HA! they were on sale and only cost $4!!! Come to think of it there was another pair I should have bought too.
Have you ever seen that commercial where a women thinks she "got away" with paying too little and is running outside with her bags screaming "START THE CAR!!!" to her husband? Well that was me... running out of the store AFAP.
Turns out it was just a great sale.
So what if the Hudson's Bay company gave Small Pox infested blankets to the native people 300 years ago? Can't we just let bygones be bygones?
