Advantages: makes you think you rich

Disadvantages: breaks in bar fights

Ok I admit it I was hooked. That is until recently.
Working the 2nd shift sweeping floors at the local pecan log factory gets me home prety late. Most of the good programming like married by america, and american idol are already off of the TV. And I dont get the jokes of them late talk show peoples. So I sit back in my trusty old lazy boy recliner. I got my lazy boy when my dad died, he give it to me in the will. It's pretty nice only a few tears that I got covered up with duct tape. If only it had a cooler built into the side. So I heat up my hungry man dinner, sit in my chair and turn on the tube. And the channel of choice QVC....

It is so exciting. Watching how many items they have left, seeing how low they will go on the price before they pull it off of the air. I just sit there and dream about what if I win the lottery all the stuff I will get myself off of the QVC. All them hand models showing off jewelry and stuff look so pretty.

So why the sudden disillusionment. Well I got laid off at the pecan log factory cause due to the war and the recess aint many people buying pecan logs anymore. I am going to try to get a job at the jackalope factory next. But with gas prices so high I dont know if many people are going to be driving to the truck stops and I dont know where else you can get you one of them jackalopes. A jackalope is a fictional half rabbit half antelope. It is basically a rabbit with horns on its head. They actuall make them over in hot springs at the jackalope and rattle snake egg factory.

So as part of gettin laid off they give me an extra two weeks pay and I dont even have to work for it or nothing. So I could save it to make my trailer payment of I could get me somethin nice off of the QVC. So with a fresh case of miller lite and the phone in my hand I waited with excitement not knowing what treasure would strike my fancy. I didnt want to be to rash in making a decesion so I took my time. I have to admit there
were several times I thought "damn I just missed that one" But finally there it was a charm bracelet with little animals on it. I know I am a man and we are not supposed to wear charm braclets but I am also part cherokee indian and we believe in animal spirits being a part of us. So I thought that the charms of little animals would make me feel more in touch with my heritage and maybe even help me find a new job. I waited and waited and then at the very last moment I called the number. it was so exciting to talk to a real live QVC operator. I didnt get to hear my voice on TV but that is ok. I gave the nice lady my checking account number because I my creidt card didnt work no more. They said they would pull the money right out of my account and my charm braclet would be on the way. I asked for rush delivery because I really needed to find a new job soon.

Each day I would look out the window of the trialer and wait for a delivery truck. My neighbors must of thought I was hidin out from the law the way I kept looking out of the window. 3 days later, not 2 like they promised the ups man came up to the house. I signed for the package, he left, I slammed the door and began to rip into my package.

It was the prettiest thing I ever seen. I was so full of pride my eyes were nearly watering. I promptly put it on and called everyone I knew to tell them all about it. It was set then I was going out that night to the rebel #3 lounge to show it off.

Later that night at the lounge everyone was very impressed and jealous of my new bracelet. Some even said it took a special man to wear a bracelet like that. I knew I was special that night. The ladies just giggled like they always do when they see fine jewelry.
About 2 in the morning and several draft beers later these 3 truck drivers came into the bar. I immediately went to show them the bracelet as everyone else had already seen it. One of them told me to get out of his face with my silly
braclet. The other two called me names. I told them my cherokee heritage was not to be laughed at and I told them I should scalp them. The next thing I know i am being punched kicked slapped. It was horrible. I was throwing my arms up trying to protect my face and that is when it happened. The bracelet flew off of my arm and all the charms went flying around the room. everyone was jealous of them charms that they must have put them in their pockets and walked out with them. I was crying and crawling around on the floor trying to find them while some people laughed. I knew they was laughing because the quality of the bracelet was so bad that it broke when my are was being hit. I was so embarrised that I had spent nearly $84 with shipping and handling to get that bracelet and now it was gone.

So to make a long story short the stuff may look pretty on TV but the quality is bad. You cant even get into a fight with truckers and not get your charm bracelets broke all up.
