I try to go by the simple maxim 'If it looks too good to be true, it IS."

Before I had learned this principle, I got a thing in the mail telling me that, if I would look at a timeshare at a nearby lake, I would recieve:

a. A two week paid vacation to Hawaii OR
b. A Mazda Car OR
c. A Lazy Boy chair

I thought, HAH! I've got it on PAPER! I win a Lazy Boy recliner! I dragooned a friend with a truck to go with me. We sat through the presentations. I was told my chair was waiting as I left at the exit. Driving up to the small shed, I thought, "They couldn't have many Lazy Boy's in THERE!" The guy handed me a small flat box. It contained a stadium seat with a folding back, made by Lazy Boy! My buddy asked if I wanted to throw it in the back, as he laughed his ass off.
