Trick Questions

July 22nd, 2009

During one of the most bizarre job interviews I ever had, I was made to take a “character and morality test.” They never told me whether I passed or failed. I always wondered if there were trick questions on that test. Especially the one that asked if you have ever cheered for the “bad guy” in a movie. Answering yes probably got me disqualified from that job, but I was honest.

There are a lot of movies where you cheer for the “bad guy.” The one that came to mind was “Cool Hand Luke.” I always felt that he was wronged throughout his incarceration, and that the sheriff was wrong to not get him medical care when he was shot. As far as I’m concerned, the sheriff murdered Luke, which makes him no better than the people he was arresting.

What to do with 30 Bananas?

DH came home with a big box of ripe bananas that were free for the taking. I don’t know how two people are supposed to eat all these bananas. I guess I will freeze them and break out the blender so we can start making smoothies and milkshakes.

Free Samples

July 11th, 2009

This morning I heard that WalMart has a way for customers to sign up on their web site for free samples. The link to do that is on their site but you have to hunt for it. Click here.

They tell me that when you sign up they mail a lot of different products to your house – all for free. They also have free trials and free music dowloads. That sounds like a bargain!

Hope everyone gets to watch a fireworks show and spend time with their loved ones! That’s what I’m planning to do tonight. Be safe and have a Happy Fourth!
