What every salesman should understand about pricing and greed.
A young boy enters the barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other,
then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?"
The boy takes the quarters and leaves. "What did I tell you?" said the
barber. "That kid never learns!"
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.
"Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?"
The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because the day I take the dollar, the
game's over."

Then we watch your sorry ass get caught on video.
I have to say that this one is just pure comedy. "Today" by the Smashing Pumpkins comes on right as the thieves are getting busted. Here are the lyrics you'll hear:
Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Pure comedy.

PHILADELPHIA -- A Boston College rower died Saturday [5/14/2005] after passing out just as his crew won the men's lightweight eight at the Dad Vail Regatta.
Scott Laio, a junior, collapsed as the Eagles' boat moved just past the grandstand and under a large stone bridge. Laio, accompanied by his parents, was taken to Hahnemann University Hospital, where he died, Boston College sports information director Chris Cameron said.
There was no immediate word on the cause of death.
"We are extremely saddened by the untimely death of Scott Laio. We extend our deepest sympathy to Scott's family and friends. They are in our thoughts and prayers," Boston College athletic director Gene DeFilippo said in a statement.
Laio, from Pittsford, N.Y., was rowing in seventh position, second from the back.
Teammate Ned Borgman began performing CPR on Laio in the boat until emergency medical technicians took over and treated him with a defibrillator.

The Laio family asks that donations be sent to:
