Garage or Garbage?
It’s a big day in the neighborhood here. I guess I could have said it’s a wonderful day in the neighborhood in tribute to Mr. Rogers. But, it’s really not that wonderful. In fact, it’s kind of lame. This is the day of the annual neighborhood “Yard Sale,” when we haul out the junk that we don’t want anymore and try to sell it to each other.
Who was the first person to come up with the concept of a yard or garage sale? One day, as they were taking their trash out to the curb, they stopped and said,
“If I scatter this crap around the yard, I might be able to sell it to the neighbors.”
Seriously, I just can’t bring myself to do it. How can I sell people things I no longer have use for?
“Why are you selling this shirt?”
“It’s ugly and itchy…that’ll be three bucks.”
