Only bid on what you can see, then everything you can't see is pure profit.

One of my bits from my stand up days.. (keeping it PG)

One thing I will never do again is have relations with my wife with a random channel on the TV. One night we were getting into it hot and heavy. Here I was, thinking I was really rocking her world, the oohh's and aahh's were flying around all over the place! It really was the first time I felt like a real man. Until, that is, we switched positions.. and a lady on QVC was selling a Cuisinart Food Processor..

Great minds think alike, I told her the same thing!

and a lady on QVC was selling a Cuisinart Food Processor..

Could've been worse, it could've been "Boogie Nights" on the tube.

For a punchline my wife getting her rocks off on QVC is funnier than Boogie Nights.. Because it's less believable, or more outrageous.

Don't make the mistake of watching the movie Magic Mike with your wife...that will really make you feel inadequate.

After watching Magic Mike with my wife, I told her that I should get one of those fake weiners too.. She said that if I did, she would divorce me..

He's not kidding either. He was in the original version before it was remade with Channing Tatum. Here is the cast photo.

In the still somewhat free parts of the US, we replace Rule #9 with: Always carry a gun.

Never believe the sob stories.

Today, this lady asked me if I would lower my price because she was giving me everything she had and had three kids she needed to feed.

I didn't want her kids to go without so I agreed. Plus, she was spending $1400 on furniture and I didn't want to lose the sale.

I had to wait for her husband. When he got there we were talking and he tells me his wife is heading to the hair dressers to spend a hundred bucks on highlights.

Yep, the truly desperate tend to either have too much pride or too much shame to admit they are in true dire straights. When people try that sob story, try to get it for nothin stuff, I just tell them about the charity furniture store that gives out free donated furniture. Funny how the people who are so down & out get offended when I mention the charity shop.
