1) Tornado - BS-omatic. I got suckered!

2) 10 pack Bucket o' hurricane mix from New Orleans. - Made just one bucket, threw out the powder for the other 9. Tasted nothing like hurricanes in New Oleans.

3) One spa treatment in Taiwan from this really hot girl. Apparently, the spa room has mirrors everywhere.. : )
THE FIRST THING SHE DOES IS TO PUT A TOWEL OVER MY EYES FOR THE ENTIRE TIME. WHAT A FREAKING GIP.

$300 Sony Mindisc player for my wife. I think she used it once...

$800 to a concrete guy to repave part of my driveway (he had done a good job on the sidewalk outside a few months earlier), then he disappeared forever before doing anything...

$500 for a Zegna leather jacket (down from $1700 at Needless Markup) that doesn't fit so well since I lost 30lbs.

Hey! I have one of those too.

Wife wanted a punching bag. I pick one up, hang it in the garage, buy her some gloves, teach her how to punch. 15 minutes later she breaks her hand. Bag sits in corner for 2 years.

Aren't all husbands "punching bags" for their wives?

Like several Canadians I purchased Northern Telecom at $50 per share. Like most Canadians I watched it drop to pennies. Useless purchase.

Two ex-wives and a Yugo. Talk about throwing good money after bad.
