Waiting for the Big One
Looking forward to retirement, Buddy and Marge had bought an ocean front lot in Arizona through an Internet Real Estate sales site. The lot price had seemed quite reasonable for ocean front property, but when they went to see their new lot, they found it was just desert. The salesman explained that if they had bothered to read the fine print, it had been sold as future ocean front, it wouldn’t be ocean front until California had the “Big One” and fell into the Pacific. That, he explained, might not happen until the next election when Arnold beat Jerry Brown . . .
