I thought 59 cents was kind of cheap for a small computer. :D

Well after the mail order didn’t work out and I got the wrong computer,
(I am not even a pilot or anything.)

I went down to the store and was getting ready to buy you one of those cute little computers then as the person was ringing up the sale,
I sneezed…
and it wasn’t all that big of a sneeze either,
more of a medium type sneeze.

Anyway, that computer was so light that when I sneezed it blew it right off the counter and it broke into a bunch of pieces when it hit the floor.

The cashier said that it was my fault and that I had to pay for it, I said they made the computer too small and way too light, and they should have thought that people might be sneezing around it.
In the end they made me pay for it since I broke it, so now I have the tiny little box of computer pieces, I can send them to you if you like, it would be extra cheep since I would not have to insure it or anything, you know since it is already broken and all.

Merry Christmas
