24. The last time I bought one, I went to one of our advertisers

I like to support our advertisers whenever possible. All my appliances came from a store that advertises with us.

This was a few months after they had introduced their "Northwest Dream" collection of mattresses. They had made up a batch of posters to hang over the bedding, and I had printed those posters myself. So I'm standing there waiting for the manager to make a list of all the king-size mattresses they had in stock that weren't the "Northwest Dream" collection (only thing I have against it is they are REALLY expensive - like $4000 for one set of mattress and two box springs) looking at my work.

"You see something interesting?"
"No...I printed these, and I like to see my stuff at the customer's location. By the way, I'm not SUPER thrilled with this one here..."
"What's wrong with it?"
I pointed to a place on the picture. "That's the city sewage plant." He just broke out laughing.
