Last Weekend
« on: November 08, 2011, 04:58:23 AM »
Last Saturday as my wife and I were leaving to go to her youngest son’s wedding our neighbors, Larry and Connie, from up the street came driving by. Larry slowed the car up and asked where in the world we were going all dress up like we were. I answered “Aw, we’re going to go get married”! Larry slammed on the breaks and said DO WHAT? I said wait a minute, I think I said that wrong. ::)

For this wedding I went to Men’s Warehouse to purchase my suit. I told the two, rather effeminate young men that I wanted a good suit that I only intended to wear twice; Once for this wedding and the next time when they put me in the ground! I paid high dollar for suit, shirt, tie, shoes, tie bar, and a couple of other accessories. Imagine my state of mind when I went to put on this really nice shirt only to find that it was a size too small. I went to the wedding wearing a high dollar suit and a $17 Wal-Mart shirt! :tick

As we were waiting for the cash register to quit rolling up the numbers for this suit purchase my wife looked at the ever increasing length of the ticket and made the remark; I’m not going to bury you in this suit. I’m going to bury you in your fishing clothes and sell this suit on E-Bay to pay for your funeral! :$

Pondhopper the main thing is ya looked A OK for the service you will be aware of. I used to think my wife would outlive me but now I'm not so sure. If I outlive her rest assured that after the morning (mourning) there will be a ginormous purse sale. 
   Funny thing about Wally world. I don't shop there any more unless it's an emergency. I've made 2 purchases there since 2000.  During the move I made 2 more. Wally world can bail ya out if necessary.  :D

You mean to tell me that this isn’t the only household that has a purse for every occasion and two for Sunday? ;D

Here’s a follow-up that may be of interest to some;
I took one of my Grandsons with me to Men’s Warehouse to give him a lesson in “righteous indignation”. I walked in with the ill fitting shirt and asked to speak to the manager. I then told her of the problem and how disgusted I was with the situation. She asked what she could do to make me happy.
My eldest stepson, who recommended this store because he buys all his suits from there, is now receiving a 50% off credit to his account in El Paso Texas. On top of that the clerk who made the mistake slipped me another coupon for another 50% off that I will be mailing to him. They also replaced the shirt.

Men’s Warehouse is a top dollar store. I paid the expense to try and insure that I received good service and they failed. I’m willing to bet that they are more diligent in the future. 50% off in that store is a big deal.

Clothes may not make the man; but this old fart sure looked good that night! ::)

Well it sounds like he (the grandson) got a good lesson. They still make a bundle when throwing around those coupons.
