SHOPPING AT AMAZON

I know a lot of my stories are about the genius, but he's just such a unique man and livng with him is such an experience! Here's the latest one.

A couple of weeks ago we were having a nice chat and he said he had ordered some new books from Amazon. He said he really got a good deal and part of the deal was slow shipping so he could get it free, and looked at me pointedly. I said confidently, "What?! I always get free shipping and I get it in two days!"

He replies, "Then why are there always shipping charges on the bills?"

A little less confident now, I said, "Well, I'm almost positive it's one-click, two day, free shipping I use. But just to be sure I'll look it up right now."

So on to the "trusty" internet I went. Sure enough, there it was "one-click, two day free shipping."

He said he was still sure there were charges on the bill. When the next one came in, (I order frequently -- Amazon has found a gold mine in me.) I showed him and he was finally convinced.

So the net of it all is that his books still haven't arrived, and I've had at least five deliveries come since then, what with ordering Christmas gifts, etc.

I feel so bad for him that whenever any package does arrive I actually think of hiding them from him. At least he's quit asking if the box is for him!
