Car Salesman "Doesn't Normally Do This" For Most Area Men

 

North Richland Hills, TX—Honda car salesman Thomas Hornley offered a "smoking deal" on window tinting to local resident Kyle Wedland that Hornley claims he normally doesn't offer to most prospective buyers.  Hornley, an 18 month verteran of the Huggins Honda Dealership, says he caved in to sell the window tinting for $499 on the 2007 Honda Pilot because Wedland was driving such a hard bargain.

 

"This guy was a madman," claims Hornley to a fellow car salesman while Wedland was still in ear shot.  "He just kept saying that he would walk out the door and go somewhere else and I really wanted the business so I finally had to come down on the tinting.  I told him I normally didn't do this for most people but for him I was making an exception."

 

For his part, Wedland walked away from the deal a happy man.  Wedland claims that his extensive research on the internet prepared him for the negotiations and also "gave him the upper hand" on Hornley.

 

"There was no way I was paying sticker," said Wedland.  "I knew that I had nailed him by getting him to come off the sticker price by $500 and when he told me the tinting was going to cost $750 I said he'd better work on that price if he planned to get my business."

 

Many, however, question whether or not Wedland did indeed get any kind of deal on the vehicle.  Although the dealership did knock off nearly $500 of the sticker price most standard deals can be reduced by as much as $2,500.  Additionally, a simple evaluation of the extras list marks the regular price of tinting at $499 which is the price that Wedland paid after his alleged discount.

 

When presented with the fact, salesman Hornley smiled.

 

"There is a sucker born every minute."  He was quick to add.  "So what are you driving these days?"

 

Girl Goes To Public Restroom Without Friend

 

Ft. Worth, TX—A strange thing happened last Saturday night  to Michelle Jones at the City Streets dance club.  Michelle was at the club with her best friend, Sarah Hayes, when Sarah got up from their table and told Michelle she needed to go use the restroom.

 

"I started to get up to go with her and she said don’t worry about it, she’d be right back," said Jones.  "I couldn’t believe it, I kind of just stared at her as she walked away."

 

The event broke a huge barrier in public situations in which women constantly are asking friends to follow them to the restroom. This has long been a mystery to men of the world who would actually prefer that their friends not join them in the restroom.  Public restrooms have long been one of the lines drawn in the sand that divide women and men.  It seems that line was washed away by Sarah Hayes.

 

"I’m not an activist or a martyr," said Sarah.  "In fact, I would usually ask her to go.  It’s just that I had a little backdoor situation from our meal at Mi Cocina if you know what I mean. I didn’t need her hearing all of that."

 

This one event proves that it can be done.  Women can use the restroom alone and not get abducted or fall in or whatever it is they believe is going to happen if they don’t take one to seven of their friends with them.  May more of the lines that divide men and women ethics be washed away by golden waters?

Los Angeles, TX—Rob Davis has a dream.  He has pursued his dream for his entire life.  It now seems that it could become a reality.  You see, Rob Davis is an actor.  But not for long.  He has as acted locally in Texas for years, but the dream was always on his mind. 

 

“Every time I was acting, I kept thinking, this is only a part time gig,” said Davis.  “I knew it would pay the bills until I hit the big time.”

           

The big time never came and it left Rob Davis with a choice.  Keep working away in local theaters or throw the dice in L.A.  So he sold everything he had and headed out to L.A. to become a waiter.  

 

“I’ve always wanted to be a waiter in Los Angeles,” he said, “Of course you can be a waiter in Dallas, but if you want to make it as a waiter, you got to be in L.A.”

           

Things are looking up for Rob.  In just 3 short months, he found a job at a local “In & Out Burger” working the drive-thru. 

 

“You have to start somewhere in this town and get your name out there.  Managers of restaurants all over town have my resume on file,” he said.  “All it takes is one break and I’m in at a big name joint.”

           

Even though  P.F. Chang’s is still a couple of years away, you have to respect Davis’ commitment to his dream.  He’s trying to break into a profession with thousands and thousands of other actors who have the same dream—To find the best place in Los Angeles to wait tables.

 

Hung-over Man Quits Drinking Forever

 

Bedford, TX— 47 year old Bedford resident Brad Wilson quit drinking early Sunday morning after waking up to the affects of a powerful hang-over.  Wilson, who has drank every day since turning 21, formally announced to his friends and family that he will never drink again.  Although Wilson was in no condition for an interview Sunday, friends told the Weekend Report that this time Wilson truly seems serious about quitting drinking.

 

"Brad really tied one on Saturday night and said some things he really regrets," claims his wife of seven years, Andrea.  "He was throwing up most of the day but in between heaves he said to me that he intends to quit drinking and I believe him."

 

After starting the evening before dinner with three glasses of Merlot, Wilson proceeded to follow it up with two snifters of after-dinner cognac, 6 Smirnoff Ices, three kamikazes and four shots of Jagermeister.  Wilson was driven home by his wife and passed out on the steps leading up to his bedroom.  Mrs. Wilson left him at the bottom of the steps to sleep off the alcohol.  He awoke in a puddle of his own vomit pleading for God to help him and claiming he would never drink again if God would make his hang-over end.

 

A anonymous spokesman for God said the Lord was unmoved by Mr. Wilson's pleas. 

 

"God hears these prayers nearly every day," said the spokesman.  "The Lord has said on numerous occasions that if you're going to drink you must pay the price.  Additionally, he also said that he will not make hang-overs go away based on the promise of future abstinence.  Jesus lied to him one time about quitting after drinking 12 goblets of wine one night and the Lord cut him some slack and made the hang-over disappear.  The next night Jesus was out boozing it up in a bar and getting freaky with Mary Magdalene.  The Lord says he won't fall for that one again."
