NICE classic appliance salesman.

A GA kinda guy? What’s he doing in Indiana?

Get out of Sears – NOW!

For a moment I thought that was Cousin Cousin…The $999 model has a thingamajig also. It might be a place to pour the whatchamacallit in.

don’t forget to mention the trade-in.

It couldn’t be Sears. Someone actually waited on them.

Nobody seems to have noticed that the salesman seems straight out of the Jack Benny shows. How wonderfully snide!

Besides being “nosy & inquisitive”, the salesman looks a lot like Sherlock Holmes.

Was this the character that always went, “Yesssssss?” And when was the last time in any Sears/Best Buy etc. store that you saw a salesman wearing a suit and tie?

The Great Gilder Sleeve, a radio personality.

Nosy, inquisitive—and Redundant !!!!

Yessssssssssss???

Yesssss..can I help you out?…“Sure…which way did you come in?”

Noreen, It’s html slight of hand. If you right click on the image of Frank Nelson (oh reaaaaaaly) above you can copy the link Dragon got the image from. What he did was use html commands in the dialog box to tell it to get the image from the other site and display it here. Some sites don’t like it when you do this because they get snotty with outside content and bandwidth issues. To be honest I don’t the commands for how to do this myself and I’m mostly guessing here. But I don’t think I’m too far off. You gotta be careful doing this, sometimes the pictures too big.

Hah! Got it! A good one with Lucy and our appliance salesman.

Where do the Wallets shop for appliances, Costington’s?

Don’cha miss being able to edit (especially the dumbth in) y’r comments? I do.
