The Dept Store That Gave Away TV's

[Guest JD]

A new department store announced that it was going to give out free TVs to

the first 100 people who came to the store on it's grand opening day. The

store was scheduled to open at 9:00am, but people were already camped out

in front of the store by 6:00am, determined to receive their free TV.

When it was almost 9:00, a little old man walked up to the front of the

line, and casually stepped in front of the first man in line, a big, burly

man who had been there since 6:00 and wasn't about to let this old guy cut

in front of him, so he pushed the old man out of his way with all of his

might! The little old man got up, dusted himself off, and walked in front

of the big burly man a second time. Once again, he was pushed away by the

big man, yet he got up, dusted himself off again, and stepped between the

big, burly man and the door a third time! This kept happening until

finally, a policeman heard the noise and rushed over to hear what the

fight was about.

"Well," said the big burly man, "I was here at the front of the line since

early this morning and this old man had the nerve to just push in front of

me to the head of the line!"

When asked to tell his side of the story, the little old man replied "What

that man said is correct. I did push in front of him several times-and if

he keeps shoving me away, I'm not going to open the store!"
