Wait, WHAT? It's HOW MUCH?!!

Holy Moly I'm in the wrong business.<br /><br />I was out Christmas shopping today (strike 1) and had to go to Wally World (strike2) for something on the wife's list.<br />Some fucking hair curler dealie.<br />I had <i>The List</i> wadded up in my pocket so I didn't fuck anything up.<br />She wrote the list knowing full well that if she didn't spell it out for me the odds were good I would fuck it up.<br /><br />So I have <i>The List</i> and I head over to Wally World not too long after I was in Best Buy to get this hair curler.<br />Don't ask me what is so special about a hair curler, I have no fucking clue.<br />It's a round plastic stick looking thing with a long clamp thingie down one side and it gets hot.<br />That's what I know about hair curlers and that's ALL I <i>ever wanted </i>to know about hair curlers.<br /><br />So I'm in the Freak Zone, wandering around looking for this thing and sure enough., they have a whole shit load of 'em.<br /><br />This is why I have <i>The List</i>, so I get the right one.<br /><br />I'm looking and I'm looking at these things and I'm thinking, these things gotta be cheap, there ain't nothin' to 'em.<br /><br />Au Contrare Mon Ami, they have a rather wide price selection.<br />Who knew?<br /><br />So I find the one I'm after, it's the only fucking one left, and it's got some kind of weird alarm kinda thing wrapped around it.<br /><br />I'm not talking about some little tag, this thing is big... and round.<br />Almost as big as a fucking hockey puck and it's wrapped around the box like a love starved octopus.<br /><br />I'm looking at this thing and wondering What The Fuck?<br />It's at the very top of the rack too.<br /><br />What, it's a display model or something?<br />Fuck it, I'll just find out.<br /><br />So I snag the damn thing and throw it in the cart and off I go.<br />Get, the fuck, outta this Freak Show Zone and go kick my feet up, after I throw it in one of those stupid assed fancy bags of course.<br /><br />Amazingly, I didn't have to wait in some huge line and pretty quick, for Wal Mart anyway, I'm at the register.<br /><br />I got her a Sea Hawks T shirt too because she is a maniac for that shit.<br /><br />The lady scans the shirt while we exchange pleasantries and then scans the hair curler.<br /><br />Did my eyes just deceive me?<br /><br />Wait, how much was that thing again?<br />As I stand there with my VISA card in hand.<br /><br />$98.89 she says.<br />Would I like the extended warranty for another $20?<br /><br /><b>Holy Fucking Shit!!</b><br /><br />Are You Fucking Kidding Me?<br />A Hundred bucks for a Hair Curler?!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFM1Mp5w7Uux1LH5ATyu3L71sfoCNoXnLe3MOWQ4RbqftDCp_XiceiDalkWNGcr1Fy4djIxkpegdlp-hU6-SUfWGHg5qbmD5Wnb8PbCL3C6cvFsWTD8aarxyhzz5u36ljoC2w0H0kCnbb9/s1600/hair+curler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFM1Mp5w7Uux1LH5ATyu3L71sfoCNoXnLe3MOWQ4RbqftDCp_XiceiDalkWNGcr1Fy4djIxkpegdlp-hU6-SUfWGHg5qbmD5Wnb8PbCL3C6cvFsWTD8aarxyhzz5u36ljoC2w0H0kCnbb9/s640/hair+curler.jpg" /></a></div><br />Jesus H.
