View Full Version : I know where I'M going shopping!
By the way, why the hell is it that all the commercials on the radio and TV talk about something called a "holiday gift?" I know a LOT of people, and not a single one ever uses the term "holiday gift." It's either "Christmas present," or "Chanukkah present," or something like that... is "holiday gift" intended to be one of those deodorized, non-offensive, PeeCee terms like "bathroom tissue" instead of "toilet paper?"
Anyway....
I'm gonna surprise the XYL with a new sofa, and I'm gonna buy it at SOFA KING! Sofa King sounds like the kind of store that deserves my business. Their slogan is - "You won't just be satisfied, you'll be SOFA KING SATISFIED!" The salesmen there aren't just courteous -- they are SOFA KING COURTEOUS! And they don't just sell their sofas cheap - They sell 'em SOFA KING CHEAP!
Damn, my wife is gonna be Sofa King happy!
MFC, everyone!
I know. Those commercials are Sofa King Funny.
That joke actually has some age on it. I remember the time someone handed me a scrap of paper and said, "Here, read this out loud."
The paper said:
I AM SOFA KING WEE TALL DID
Heeeeeeeelarious!

In Boston, we have Jordan's Furniture which is known for their cheeky ads featuring Barry and Elliott (both brothers who run the business). Best of the lot was Elliott getting dissed by an Italian woman in an ad for Italian leather sofas.

Nothing beats the Old Chair-man commercials from New Orleans.

Yeah, friend of mine works at a major insurance company and they've been informed that they are to refer to it as the "sharing season". Don't want to take a chance on offending anyone, especially the imported foreign workers.

I'm hoping this is a franchise outfit. It certainly hasn't expanded to this area yet. Where do I sign up? I would get SOFA KING much pleasure out of owning my own business.

http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif ...The ones that really used to get my attention on TV are the advertisements that say " every thing in the store is ON SALE " ( duh ) . Sure, dummy that is why it is in the store is for it to be sold to some one at some price. Those folks treat the average customer like some kind of dummy. .... there is one NEW CAR SALES place in HUNTSVILLE that will sell you a NEW car on payments if 1) you meet their qualifications ...2) you make at least $1500.00 per month ... 3) if you come by within the next 24 hours and apply . ...then there is the " program lease cars from 2001 " that are trying to be sold with a NEW price tag on them. amazing the gimmicks folks will come up with to get your money...wonder what kind of gimmicks folks have tried in used amateur radio sales/trades in the past ? { this rig was only used on sundays by a little old lady to talk to her son }
