Chantix Diaries 3

Posted by Ronald Huereca

Chantix gives you some weird dreams. Here’s some of the dreams I’ve had recently.

Preparing for… What?

I was in a town square. We were all eating lunch, shopping, and just going about our business. Music was playing, people were talking on their cell phones, and conversing with each other.

In the distance, I could hear this massive roar. Everybody stopped what they were doing. It was absolute and complete silence, with the exception of the roar.

In the sky appeared hundreds of slow-moving CH-47 (Chinook) helicopters carrying what looked like a HMMWV (Hummers). In the back of the helicopter, the ramp was open, and you could see all of the soldiers inside.

The first wave passed, and people started talking about what just happened.

“They’re going to bomb something.” I heard one say.

“Probably Iran.” Another replied.

People soon forgot about the huge show of force, and continued with what they were doing before.

Then a second wave of Black Hawks followed, where we could see Soldiers and a machine gun pointing out. There were hundreds of Black Hawks as well, slowly passing by.

Again, the crowd was completely silent, just marveling at the overwhelming show of force.

“What’s going on?” I could hear one ask.

The second wave disappeared from sight, and I woke up.

 

iPhone to the Rescue - Forever Sharp Knives

Posted by Ronald Huereca

I was in Sam’s club when I stumbled across a guy doing a demo of Forever Sharp Knives.

He was demonstrating how one of the knives could cut easily through fresh bread, a ripe tomato, and even a hammer.

He asked the audience how much we could expect the knives to cost. Some lady chimed in, “38 dollars.”

“Yup.” he replied anxiously.

He continued, “But since you are special Sam’s Club customers, you get a second knife absolutely free!”

At this point, he started naming all of the extras that people would get. Then he dropped a bombshell.

“But wait, since you’ve all listened so patiently to me, I’ve got a special incentive to give you from the manufacturer. A third knife!”

At this point, I whipped out my iPhone and Googled “forever sharp knives”. I saw that this was not indeed a “special incentive” for just “Sam’s Club” customers. This was the same deal that could be purchased online without listening to some jackass speak.

I immediately walked away, shaking my head and smirking.

On another note, I picked up a shredder today and used my iPhone to check out the reviews on Amazon. It turned out Amazon.com was slightly cheaper, but I picked up the shredder anyways. Go iPhone!
