Family Humor
This was so funny to me I just have to share it. About 10yrs ago my grandfather was talking to me about his feelings of how this generation does not make any sense, he is always saying things that make me laugh. Well you see, he went to the furniture store to buy a new bed he said that he looked at several different ones and decided to get this nice light oak queen size bed. Well once he paid for the bed he noticed that all that was loaded into the truck were the headboard, footboard and the mattress with boxsprings. So he walked back into the store and asked the clerk where the bed frame was and the clerk looked at him and said. "I am sorry Sir, the frames are not sold with the bed, that will be extra." Now,you just have to know my grandfather to understand this situation. See, to him this sounded rediculious, he looked over at my granny and looked back at the clerk and said "Could I please speak with the manager."
The manager came to the front of the store and said. "Sir, what seems to be the problem?" My grandfather says, well for starters this generation of people around me is the problem, "what is wrong with you people he asked?" The manager said, Sir. What do you mean? My grandfather says, "I have walked around this store, spoke with your salesman and I decided on getting a bed and they load it in the truck and I notice that there is no bed frame for me to put the bed on. Now I am being told that it is not sold with the bed, I am being told that I have to pay extra." He told the manager that it did not make any sense to sell a bed with no frame and that he has never heard of such a thing.
The manager said well that is just the way it is. Would you like to get it or not? My grandfather looked at him and said, Listen! You mean, to tell me "The frame" does not come with the bed?? How would you like it if you went to buy a car and you picked out the niccest looking car on the lot, you test drive it and it runs so smoothe, she shines more than anyother car on the lot, and you have signed all the paper work on her and you are ready to pay for her. Now you go to the parking lot, ready to drive her home and you notice they got her sitting up on cement blocks with no wheels on her. Would you not decide that you want to speak to someone about that because, it just don't seem right to sell you a car with no wheels now does it?
Then you speak with the manager and say that you went out to the parking lot.. ready to take your car home and you noticed the wheels have been taken off and want to know how you are going to get it home and the manager looks at you and says "you must buy the wheels seperate" how would you feel? Would that make any sense to you, to have a car with no wheels? Now! Is this going to be the way it is or do I get my frames? Needless to say, he got his frames free of charge. I guess if you put it like that it really does not make much sense does it?...My grandfather. You just gotta love that man, he is something!
