NCR... Get a load of this! vbg grin

... Just cam in from Houston and am back in the DogHouse. Pouring down rain most of the way home.

I wanted to take a priceless (well sorta') photo to post here but I did not bring a camera. Let me explain...

Checked into the Sheraton Hotel and the room was modest but nice. Many times I have stayed where the room is equipped with a mini-bar and restocked each day. Usually, they jack up the price on these items because of convenience. I understand that and I do not mind paying a bit more to have a few assorted beverages handy in the room. BUT... What I saw cracked me up! There on a cabinet were 2 16oz bottles of some local brand of bottled water with a large tag around the neck of each one saying "Drink to Your Health" and boldly posted below the price of $3.95 +tax. WHOA!! This is WATER we are talking about! After looking at these for two days, I could not resist taking a felt tip marker and editing the tag to read "Holy Water...Drink to Our Wealth" Like I said I don't mind a 'little' gouging for convenience but if I were to have consumed any of these I felt my intelligence would be in question! LOL
