Don’t Always Trust Everything “Discounted”.
Maria and her husband just moved into a not-so-great neighborhood. With the mortgage prices going up and up, they figured that going into one of these neighborhoods would make a difference, but they quickly found out that they were dead wrong. They sold their old house in the suburbs, furniture and all, and decided to start anew. Maria found a store that sold discount furniture and after a lot of fighting with her husband, they went to check it out.
Maria loved the furniture in there. It was great quality; stuff that would normally go for thousands of dollars, only going for hundreds. Maria’s husband, Shawn, was less than impressed. He sought out a representative, and found Natasha, who is dressed professionally.
“Excuse me, miss, I want to know something.”
“Well, ask me quick. I have to get to lunch.”
“Taco Bell isn’t going anywhere. Listen, I want to know how you can possibly sell furniture with this kind of quality for only $500 a pop?”
“What? We can’t do that?”
“Well, I find that pretty strange. In my old neighborhood, stuff like this is upwards from $5,000. ”
“Oh, you from the boonies?”
“Whatever, yes. I’m from the boonies. What does that have to do with anything?”
“Well, they sell everything for crazy prices. Look, we have a wholesaler. We can afford to sell these things for $500 a pop. Now does that answer your question? Because a sister’s hungry!”
Just as Natasha says that, sirens are heard. Shawn hears them, sees that Natasha is nowhere in sight. Just as he’s about to pick up Maria and run, the cops come in and tell them not to move. Completely freaked out, they wonder what going on. One of the cops then releases a bloodhound. They are whiter with fear. The bloodhound stops at one of the sofas, and a cop rips it open. Turns out that it had a pound…two pounds…three pounds…four pounds of marijuana. The rest of the cops went around and tore apart the other soft sofas and anything else that had a soft exterior and interior. They found drugs galore. Shawn and Maria found no workers in sight. They were set up. One of the cops walked towards them and said “You’re coming with us.” They start crying hysterically. “We were set up! They’re in there! They have wholesalers! You have to believe us!!”
Shawn was shaking Maria frantically to try to wake her up from her nightmare. “Maria, wake up! Calm down! It was only a nightmare!”
“Oh, Shawn, it was terrible! We got arrested, and…and…”
“Relax. Breathe…let’s get breakfast. Then we’re going to go to that discount furniture store down the street.”
“NO!!”
