Poll question: Picture this
Edited on Sat Dec-04-04 10:38 AM by HypnoToad
My local Sams Club, there is a big billbord that has a picture of a fully developed baby. The caption reads "After 10 weeks, I have my daddy's eyes!"

What should I do? :evilgrin:

Edit: Added "local"

4. Evil is all around.
Kinda hard to avoid.

But, yes, they're easy to avoid and many almost or equally lucrative deals can be found elsewhere.

Except for hard drives, DVD+/-R(W) discs, and USB cables. And I will buy Boca brand soy products from them. Sams may be evil, but the 'health food' industry readily fleeces its customers too. Via Sams, I save 50% off the price of soy patties. For that instance, Sams is the lesser of two evils.

Besides, I don't care where I shop until society puts itself on the right track. Until then, there's only one direction it's going to continue to go.

11. Agreed.
I would love to evade Sam's totally, but I've got to go there for certain foods, like Boca, Fruit20, assorted fruit, etc.

It remains absolutely the only place where I can get pomegranates at a reasonable price. Whole Foods charges literally thrice as much.

2. Thou Shalt Not Steal...I'd have to say they should be given back.
Daddy might need them.

3. "My" Sam's Club?
Trust me, it's not your Sam's Club. Wal-Mart isn't even an American company.

5. They are anti-American, that's for sure. But who isn't?
And they are not mine. It's simply a relative term.

10. I agree, but to quote Gingrich:
"Words mean something."

We have to start saying THE Sam's Club, not MY Sams's Club. It shifts the mental framework when you talk about corporate America.

It's why I don't say "we" when I refer to the company I work for. To do so is a slave-mentality way of speaking.

8. Cool! I am bookmarking this page:
I will make all 3 signs, and others with good phrases as well.

Yours is most apropos because of the Natl debt.
