TOO GOOD TO BE...

Now I don’t care how you want to finish this comment what it amounts to is that whatever you talk about isn’t good. Plain and simple. Only perhaps you thought it was to start out with. So you get your hopes up only to find out later it sucked big time.

I wish I never did this myself, but I’ve done it way to many times. And no matter how many times I would kick myself for it (which is tough since I where I should kick myself I can reach) I still end up falling for it again.

I don’t think I mind the screw up or disappointment as much as having to endure another lecture from my buddy Otis. I told you so just ain’t much fun to hear when you feel stupid in the first place.

But there are two things I know for sure. One is that like too many people I’m going to forget all about how something is too good when I want it to be and Otis is never going to shut up with the I told you so.

So why do I keep falling for the too good to be situations? Because there is always that one time when too good to be turns out to be not too good to be and actually ends up true.

I confess that ain’t happen so far. But I know it will be sooner or later. And let me tell you I sure can’t wait for that one time when I was right and Otis can’t say I told you so.

You know I got no idea what Otis will say instead of I told you so. I got a feeling that it won’t be, “gee old buddy that sure was a good idea. Or gee old buddy, it really wasn’t too good to be true. Sorry I was wrong.”

That’s the best part. Just dreaming of the time when I can hear Otis say, “I’m sorry I was wrong.” I sure can’t wait for that day to come.

But like I said the first thing I have to do is have one of those too good to be situations actually not be too good. I just figure the more I try the bigger the chance it will happen.

That means every chance I get I try to accept some special discount offer in hopes this one will be a real bargain. Only problem is finding enough room in our closet to hide all the bargains that didn’t turn out to be bargains. It sure is getting crowded in there.

Fortunately for me Otis doesn’t use that closet that much so he doesn’t know how much junk is in there. And till I figure out what to do with all that stuff I have had to sort of find a closet at work to hide more junk. So far I’ve been lucky and manage to find a place or two that works. I was sweating there for a bit when one grimefighter took that discount toilet paper I got on sale and nearly bled to death from using it. Well I know better than to try any toilet paper made from used sandpaper from now on. Live and learn as somebody says.
