Stop thief

I hope I can tell this story and it's not one of those that you had to be there to get it. Have you ever noticed at 7-11 they have heights on the door? You know just in case they are robbed they are able to give a better description....comes in pretty handy I'm sure! Well, I was at Home Depot a few weeks ago and was rather impressed that at each register they had a height thing. My first thought was 'Wow, they went to a lot of work and made these pretty fancy' and my second thought was 'do they really get robbed that much?' I didn't think much about it again and then the next week when I was back with a friend and we were buying trim for my cabinets I figured it all out.....

I'm laughing as I type this because I think of myself as rather smart sometimes but then there are times that I'm rather well....a ditz! So, the trim had a price on it of .59 cents and I thought that was CHEAP!!! I was getting 4 very long pieces of wood and it was going to cost me a little over $2.00! WOW!!! Little did I know that it's .59 cents a foot and those metal height things are to measure the wood not to figure out how tall a robber is......come on Mandy that things measures over 10 feet. Could you imagine a 10 foot man in a ski mask holding up the Home Depot????? I guess what was even more embarrassing is instead of keeping this whole story to myself I was laughing so hard at the register when I finally figured this all out that I shared it with everyone.
