Eyes

I had my eye's done several weeks ago and it cost several thousand dollars.
Glasses were only $8.99 at Walmart. Now my husband is mad because he could
have spent the money on a fishing boat, and the size fish he catches are so
big he would not need glasses to see them. Can I take the eyeballs back and
get a boat?

Sure you can, but wouldn't a boat sticking out of your forehead look a
little funny?

Tell your husband that instead of a $30,000 boat, he can go get a fish
sandwich at Long John Silvers for $1.69

I second that. Theres more than one way to catch a fish. I just buy
mine for $4.99 a pound. Let someone else do all the work and waste
money on a boat. You could fish yourself from the shore or off a dock.
Boats are only needed if you wanna go far out into the ocean, in this
case you can rent a small one or pay a friend who has a boat to take
you for the ride. Maybe even offer him some of the "catch" instead of
cash

There was an episode of Mythbusters on today that had a great quote in
it. This guy who has a boat says "the two greatest joys for a
boatowner is the day you buy the boat... and the day you SELL it."
Boats and swimming pools are two of the biggest money pits - worst
investments.

It is a bit ironic how much people will spend on silly luxuries.. yet
complain about the cost of lasik.. BUT it is a bit unnerving to hand
over $3000 for something that takes a total of about 15 minutes.. but
then again.. those damned laser systems cost roughly a million.

What is really incredible is how LVI isn't more profitable than it is.
They cut every corner possible, do a tremendous number of procedures,
wind up charging a lot more than their ads indicate.. yet they have
gone bankrupt twice in the past 7 years.

Yeah but they don't have to pay the salaries and benefits of a
medical staff.
Come to think of it, hookers don't cost a million to start up, yet they
tend to charge very high prices. (retard, don't read this without
mommie's approval)
