Irony of life

Men:
1. All men are extremely busy.
2. Although they are so busy, they still have time for women.
3. Although they have time for women, they don't really care for them.
4. Although they don't really care for them, they always have one around.
5. Although they always have one around them, they always try their luck with others.

Women:
1. The most important thing for a woman is financial security.
2. Although this is so important, they still go out and buy expensive clothes and stuff.
3. Although they always buy expensive clothes, they never have something to wear.
4. Although they never have something to wear, they always dress beautifully.
5. Although they always dress beautifully, their clothes are always just "an old rag".
6. Although their clothes are always "just an old rag", they still expect you to compliment them.
7. Although they expect you to compliment them, when you do, they don't believe you.

Wisdom:
WHEN I WAS MARRIED 25 YEARS AGO, I TOOK A LOOK AT MY WIFE ONE DAY AND SAID, "HONEY, 25 YEARS AGO WE HAD A CHEAP APARTMENT, A CHEAP CAR, SLEPT ON SOFA BED AND WATCHED A
10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV, BUT I GOT TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WITH A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD BLOND."

"NOW WE HAVE A $500,000.00 HOME, A $45,000.00 CAR, NICE BIG BED AND PLASMA SCREEN TV, BUT I'M SLEEPING WITH A 50-YEAR-OLD WOMAN. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU ARE NOT HOLDING UP YOUR SIDE OF THINGS."

MY WIFE IS A VERY REASONABLE WOMAN

SHE TOLD ME TO GO OUT & FIND A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD BLONDE, AND SHE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD ONCE AGAIN BE LIVING IN A CHEAP APARTMENT, DRIVING A CHEAP CAR, SLEEPING ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHING A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV.

AREN'T OLDER WOMEN GREAT? THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO SOLVE YOUR MID-LIFE CRISIS.

Discussion between a Husband and Wife about #DearGerry

Sitting at the dining room table, discussing Harvey Norman

Wife – “Did you hear about the fuss Harvey Norman is making about internet purchases?”
Husband “Yeah, he just wants everyone to pay GST.”
Wife – “Even if people pay GST, it’s still cheaper than buying on-shore mostly. His real argument is no-one should buy off-shore”
Husband – “No, that’s not what he wants, he just wants people to pay GST”
Wife – “No, he doesn’t want people to buy anything offshore, even if they do pay GST. He’s claims that Australian Jobs are being lost, because people are buying off shore.”
Husband – “No, he just wants people to pay GST”
Wife – “Even with the GST, it’s cheaper for me to bypass the likes of Harvey Norman and buy offshore. If Harvey Norman was so worried about Australian Jobs, he’d stock mostly Australian Made products. Instead he sources as much product as possible from overseas, as cheap as possible. Doing exactly what I’m doing, only difference is he has buying power, I have none.”
Husband – “Oh”

Cussons - (Morning Fresh) Fail at Customer Service (Twice)

You’ve all seen the type of thing I’m talking about. Fill in your details, agree to the terms and conditions, with the promise of free product straight to your door.

Often there is are a few questions to answer and you ALWAYS have to agree to the Terms and Conditions and supply an email address for further marketing purposes. I always say no, as is my right.

We’ve purchased a single drawer Fisher and Paykel dishwasher, inside said item was a card offered “One Month Free Trial” of morning fresh Dishdrawer tabs (Value $7.49) Noting that promotion is being run by Cussons Holdings (manufacturers of Morning Fresh Washing Detergents)

I did what was required of me and when I pressed enter, this is what I was presented with (note the red writing, bottom right hand corner) Apparently “according to our records, this unique code QXXXXXX has expired”


(identifiying details removed)

So let’s re-cap, dishdrawer purchased, contained promotional material with Redemption closing date of 11.59pm AEDST 28th February 2011.

My question is how often does this happen and how many times do people just let it ride?

I’m sick of being the nice guy. Now going to pick up the phone and ring the number for www.morningfresh.com.au FAQ’s tab and see what response I get.

And I go through the button pushing stage and get disconnected without speaking to anyone.

Congratulations Cussons – you lose on two counts
