Thank'e.

I have decided to re-celebrate one of my earlier birthdays, from a gentler time and place. 

In fact?  I may have to go back several hundred years...

Good on ya, Bob!  I have one ending in a 0 this year and think I may make it my 10th instead.

Yarrrgh Bob:  in deference t' yer honorary youth, a single birfday wench bearin yer cayke from sunnier cloimes. Many 'appy returns ov thee daye!

Happy Birthday, Bob!

'Twas a happy day for me and me fambly.

Me parents, agin' as they be, hast concluded they be need'n a new-ish conveyance-like.

What wit the oldish one not toleratin' extended run times-- it's poor wee tranny will het up sumpn' feirce and refuse to engage th' wee gears.   Roun' town, it's a champ.  Go on the hieway?  It overheats like a banker havnin' t'work on a Monday.

So, off t' the auto-motor vendors they went, yest'd'y.

Now, me folks is agin' as I hast indicated prior-like.  They's honest folk, but they's not one't be forceful.  So't' sales-goblin had tried't take all advantge-like of they're kindly natures.  If'n ya know what I mean.

So, today, finishin' up a wee little jobbie (the A/C needed a wee bit'o re-wirin' to make it get all cool an'stuff.  Funny how people hexpect their AC's to make wit' th' cold air.  Hennyways, a bit'o wire here, 'an' a bit o wire there, and he was all fixed up-- 'appy as a pig in warm mud) I wandered by me folk'z place, and there was the motorcar they'd selected.

So.

A bit o'intertubin' and I discovered the advantage-- the "deal" turned out to be a wee bit ordinary:  I could'o got the same "deal" from any dealer in town-- you could'a say I was whelmed.

So.

I called the auto-motor vendor and hinformed 'is magesty, that we'd be bringin' the auto back, and we'd be hexpectin' their old one t'be waitin' outside, as I had little time, and we had several other dealers to check wit.  I was all nicey-nicey super polite han'stuff-- no need t'be nasty-- jest hinformed 'im a matter'a'fax loike.

Well.  H'wee get there toot-sweet, hand the manager hwas a'waitin'.  Lovely fellow.   I hexplained the results of my surfin' t' intertubes.  I politely hexplained that his "deal" was merely whelming-- but that I'd prefer if the "deal" was overwhelming instead.

He unnerstood perfectly.  Really!

He politely hasked me what moight make me feel overwhelmed.  I gave him a figger.   Hy also poilitely hinformed 'im that we would'nt be payin' their "dealer prep" fee, that if'n he wanted that, he needed' t' be hajusting t' proice t' hinclude that figger.   

He ast' us t'wait.   

We waited.

In less than 2 minutes, he returned, with a new figger:  500 smackers under hwhat I had 'ast!

I was hack'tully overwhelmed! 

Overall, I figger I saved me agin' folks twenty-five hundred over hwhat they was plannin' on payin.

An' that's as happy a birfday present has hany one could hask.



All hin'all a good day.

Happy birthday!
