The Lockhorns by Bunny Hoest and John Reiner for December 04, 2024

Only if they’re 2 for 1

Would that salesman like a punch in the mouth from Leroy??

Salesmanship at its finest!!!!

great! — you can repossess them both at the same time

Of course she would! But Leroy’s doing the buying, you better not get too greedy!

“You bought your wife a diamond ring and necklace for Christmas? I thought she wanted a Mercedes?”

“They don’t make an imitation Mercedes.”

Scammer

Unless that store is one of those famous “credit jewelers,” with Leroy’s credit, I’m surprised they let him in the door.

It was supposed to be just window shopping, hey it’s Christmas Leroy, make her happy, you’ll be miserable but she’ll be happy.

Of course a salesman working on commission is going to upsell every chance he gets. But just because he suggests it doesn’t mean you need to buy it.

‘Expensive’ is relative, but not one of Leroy’s relatives.

Time for some full body contact shopping.

Fortunately my spouse has discovered lab grown jewels. Fraction of the price of “real” ones and no one has discerned the difference. At least to her.

“Oh Lord, won’t you buy meA Mercedes Benz?My friends all drive PorschesI must make amends…”
