After his wife booked a nature hiking vacation in Arizona in the Sonoran desert in August (An un-researched eBay deal, cheap and now he understood why) and this year a rustic Alaskan vacation in February, all he could say when she started talking about Africa or India was “Nevermore!”
Henry hated to admit it–he’d never Tweet it or post in on his Facebook page at the risk of being called wimpy, but dang, he really had cold feet flying here in Alaska. He wondered: “Shouldn’t I be able to find something, anything, in the way of foot warmers on Amazon or eBay?” . . . . . David, Sf.G.
Bobby and Jeanie had been high bidders on eBay and while stretching their budget, it seemed to be a very good price for their own mountain, especially one that included a whole National Park They had paid through PayPal but for some reason the title deed seemed to very slow in coming, in fact, they hadn’t even seen the preliminary title insurance policy. They hoped there weren’t going to be any problems. . . . . . David, Sf.G.
The guys had cut back on their after work beer for most of the year, trying to save enough money to go to the Super Bowl, but the only tickets available were from the eBay scalpers and they just hadn’t saved enough for tickets and the travel costs. Maybe they could make the NBA finals if they could get tickets early enough. And anyway, the Rams weren’t playing. . . . . David, Sf.G.
Larry was pretty well ready for winter, plenty of feathers to keep him warm, except for his head. He would prefer a classy camel colored Homburg or a navy beret, but finding anything in his head size was all but impossible. Not even eBay or Amazon had anything. Once again, it looked like he was going to be buying a pair of ladies “small” ski socks and cutting an opening for his beak and two eye holes. That was going to be it. He was pretty sure this was not going to attract the ladies. . . . . David, Sf.G.
The hardworking and thrifty Indian Punjabi farmers had had a tough year, but they were careful not to waste anything, including the cow patties (usually used as fuel). When they heard that to get elected in America, the potential presidential candidates needed to expend considerable political capital, and when they learned just what that meant, they began offering this expensive commodity on eBay and soon had solved their cash crunch problems. . . . .
