black friday experience

BLACK FRIDAY EXPERIENCE
i do not ever go shopping on black friday
but did once and lived to tell about it
will not ever do a black friday ever again
am cured
hold my shopping for a wednesday am at 900am two weeks
before christmas      have a list, have researched what i want,
walk in the store and get it, pay for it and get out of there

this black friday experience has ruined my shopping pleasure

a few years a go was at home visiting my parents in a rural
state near here    
they lived about 15 miles from a small town of 15000
in this small town they have a walmart
walmart had their black friday deals advertised in the
local paper     its called black friday because of all the
bruises that you get from shopping that day

there was a tv advertised that i wanted to get for my parents for
christmas      theirs was an old one that was real old
my wife she and i had bought it when we first got married as
poor college students so you know it was not an expensive one

so on that friday morning i got up early and left at 5:00 am
to go to the walmart     figured that in this small town it
would not be busy if i got there early     would just go in and
get it before the big rush occurred    
the store was opening at 6:00 am

well was i ever wrong      when got there at 5:30 am the parking
lot was full     was able to park at the edge of the parking lot
the line was so long it took me almost 30 minutes to get into
the store

when i got into the store no one could move because it was
so full     am sure it exceeded maximal capacity allowed
by the fire department by two-three times the number

the whole time i was there never was able to get pass the
mass of people to to get any where near the television

looked up and there was a nephew       must be genetic this
black friday shopping      he called his wife on her cell
phone-she just happened to be in the television section    
she had one of the televisions sitting in the aisle as some
lady just left it there

guess the lady could not get it through the mass of people
to get it checked out

my nephew managed to get to where the television was-
i never could fight may way there      he lifted it up and
moved through the mass of humanity       now we had to
get it to the check out line-
the lady before had given up on that      my nephew he just
barreled through       we looked up     we were saved as
 there was another nephew he in the line about to check out-
yep its genetic  

you know what we did right     you bet     my nephew he
checked it out for us    
there was a lot of people p..... at us as we went past
them

but yes got that dang television      my nephew he(a tall
fireman who shouldnt have been in that overcapacity crowd)
 lifted it up and took it to my car (had borrowed my sons
toyota 4-runner)
after all that then the dam thing would not fit in the car

luckily my nephew he was in a large pickup truck
he drove it to my parents house for me

after my parents both died got the television and brought it
back here to use in our guest bedroom    

think about that black friday experience every time
i look at that television

learned my lesson
