When we were on the first stages of buying the Camry Hybrid, we called the nearest toyota dealerships around our area and asked them if they wanted to participate in the bidding process. After we got the interested parties’email addresses, my husband sent out an email telling them what we want, and that we know the price of the car, so give us their best offer. Unfortunately, my husband didn’t really bother to change the wording on what is basically a template letter used by my sister and what was said on our “bible”. We received the offers, but there was this one salesman who wrote back saying he had seen exactly the same email, word for word. And he went on accusing us of lying, of working for somebody, of being inconsiderate of his family that he needs to feed, etc. etc. In short, we was a jerk. I told my husband to just ignore it and do not even try to offer him our business. I thought he was being an ass. But the husband wanted to get as many offers as possible so he gave this guy another chance and explained to him that we were legitimate buyers, that we use what other people have used, etc. This guy did not even apologize but we did get some really good offers from him. He was actually beating the other offers but there was this other guy who, according to my husband, was really nice and sounded sincere and willing to help. Of course, they want to sell a car. As the end of the bidding draws near it comes to the jerk giving the  best offer, but we were really hoping the nice guy would beat his offer. One more phone call and the nice guy offered to take another 100 dolllars off the price. He beat the jerk by $35. So, eventhough the nice guy’s delearship was about 15 miles farther than this jerk’s dealership, we decided to go to the nice guy. It was a pleasant experience dealing with him. Then my husband emailed the jerk and said that somebody beat his price and we went with him. This jerk still had the nerve to email us back, true to his jerkness, his email was filled with anger and sarcasm. He said he hasn’t, in his 25 years of being a car salesman, lost a sale for $35. And that his experience with us will be added to his book, a memoir that he’s writing, and that if we found out that we were not satisfied with our dealer, we shouldn’t feel embarassed to go to him. What an effin asshole this guy is. I was so pissed, I told the husband to send an email to this guy’s boss and tell him that this guy’s attitude just cost their dealership a sale. We wrote something mean to send to this guy, but of course, we did not send it. Let him wonder what he had done wrong. Give him time to write his memoirs. I think he’s the reason why a lot of people don’t like car salesmen.

Here’s another one of those stupid lawsuits in America, the land of lawsuits. Seriously, really?!

“LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A judge has thrown out a Nebraska legislator’s lawsuit against God, saying the Almighty wasn’t properly served due to his unlisted home address. State Sen. Ernie Chambers filed the lawsuit last year seeking a permanent injunction against God. He said God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents in Omaha, inspired fear and caused “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.”

Chambers has said he filed the lawsuit to make the point that everyone should have access to the courts regardless of whether they are rich or poor.

On Tuesday, however, Douglas County District Court Judge Marlon Polk ruled that under state law a plaintiff must have access to the defendant for a lawsuit to move forward.

“Given that this court finds that there can never be service effectuated on the named defendant this action will be dismissed with prejudice,” Polk wrote.

Chambers, who graduated from law school but never took the bar exam, thinks he’s found a hole in the judge’s ruling.

“The court itself acknowledges the existence of God,” Chambers said Wednesday. “A consequence of that acknowledgment is a recognition of God’s omniscience.”

Therefore, Chambers said, “Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit.”

Chambers has 30 days to decide whether to appeal. He said he hasn’t decided yet.

Chambers, who has served a record 38 years in the Nebraska Legislature, is not returning next year because of term limits. He skips morning prayers during the legislative session and often criticizes Christians. ” - breitbart
 

A married couple in Cambodia who had “finally had enough” of each other have gone their separate ways by literally cutting their home in half.

The wife will stay put with the upright half while her husband has carried away his half to start again on the other side of the village.

Neighbours said the couple saw the radical action as the most cost-efficient and equitable way to avoid each other in a country where divorce lawyers can be expensive.

Vorng Morn, the headman of Cheach village, fifty miles from the capital Phnom Penh, told the Phnom Penh Post: “We tried to persuade them to think clearly before they did this because they had been married for nearly 40 years. But they did not listen.”

Mr Morn refused to identify the couple to protect their privacy.

The impetus for the break up was the husband’s alleged malingering, or the wife’s alleged lack of care, depending on your point of view.

“His wife said that if her husband got sick and stayed at home, she was made to pay for his medicine, but if he stayed at his parent’s house, she wouldn’t have to pay. So they separated,” said Mr Morn.” - source

awesome. I wonder who got the toilet/bathroom? The wife probably got the kitchen.

That was not my idea (of course!) but PETA’s. You know, that bizzaro-group of super radical animal activists. They sent a letter to Ben and Jerry’s, the ice cream makers, to use human breast milk for their ice cream production.  eew? Im not sure what they get from these weird acts/ideas. I think people mostly ignore anything that has the word PETA on headlines because they think it would be just a bunch of crock anyways. But I guess they need to go to extremes to get attention, and perhaps affect a even just few people.  What do you think? I still think they’re nuts.
