Received this as an email and thought I'd share:

Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: 'Free to good home. You want it, you take it.'

For three days the fridge sat there without anyone looking twice. He eventually decided that people were too mistrustful of this deal. So he changed the sign to read: 'Fridge for sale $50.'

The next day someone stole it!


They walk among us!

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

They do indeed walk among us. You don't by chance know my neighbors, do you? {#emotions_dlg.laugh} Human nature is an odd thing...some people should be forced to wear signs so we can all be forewarned.

I prefer to think that someone just decided to,take him up on his original offer.

I once had an above the ground pool that I wanted to get rid of. I offered it at $50.00. No callers. I changed the amount to $150. and it sold right away.

What does that say about our society? I don't trust you to be nice and giving, but I'll steal from you?
