Cattle-dogs

Or catalogues.

We've been getting loads of them lately, and I find myself increasingly tempted to buy something out of one. I look at all these diamond rings (Just $295!!) and new dining tables (A steal at $395!!) and ask myself why I haven't taken advantage of these special limited time only offers?

I'm thinking it's possibly because I'm poor.

Don't you hate it when the world conspires to remind you how poor you are? The other day I was buying coffee for myself and a few other people, and a little kid there asked if he could have a candy bar. He blew my carefully calculated penny-pinching budget.

Maybe it's a misguided opinion, but I think that's pretty much all kids do. That and scream on long-distance flights.

So you bought the little bastard a candy bar?

You're a pushover!

Catalogues don't inspire me to buy anything.

Infomercials, on the other hand...

Have a great day.

My bad. I had it in my head that you were a Brit.

Later!
