Deal Discusser Mugs

Excuse me, sir, if it's not too much trouble … Hi, Democrats. What can I get you? Coffee Sandwiches? An explanation. We introduced our bold new plan last month: "A Better Deal," but the progressives still aren't impressed. What more could they ask for? We focus-group tested the heck out of the slogan. It was the least objectionable and least un-inspiring of the bunch! It evokes FDR's "New Deal" and LBJ's "Fair Deal" without over-promising. We don't want to risk over-promising. It even sounded pr

'In its new 'spirit of evenhandedness,' the U. S. Government today sent troops to occupy all foreign countries....'

"It was terrifying experience being faced with that kind of compulsive, insane behaviour...I tell you it's positively the last time I put foot in the sales!"

"O.K., O.K., people - we're not workshopping these, they're already set in stone."

Dialogue

"Great plan. Could we get some more details?"

"Now that's a win."

"Strawman argument terrorises conversation... News at eleven."

"We structured the deal so it won't make any sense to you."

“It's $195 million. Now, I know what you're thinking: 'OK, what's the catch?'”

That's supposed to say garage sale!

"Mainstream? Who's to say what's mainstream?"

Sale.

"In layman's terms, it's £12,750."

"The pizza came late and it was cold!"

'And I want that end table for $40...' When bargain hunters crack.

'We don't know what it is but it was in the sale so we thought we'd better get one before they sold out.'

"The Box is bigger, the contents smaller, increased the price and called it improved."

Screwdriver labelled 'Buyer' and screw labelled 'seller'.

"On the contrary, Bosworth, it's YOU who has lost all perspective."

Oz Debating Society. You can't refute everything I say just by call it a "straw man" argument.

The Church of DanaeDanaeism: 'And let such sacrilege go uncontested? Never! I demand equal time for alternate explanations of things.'

"Ever notice how grateful people are when you present them with facts contrary to their beliefs?"

Half-Price Haircut and Half-Cut Price Hair.

'I'm now going to open the floor to questions.'

"And when the extended warranty kicks in, we send you a big can of new car smell."

'hold the blog - I got a bargain in the sales'

We Never Look at Prices Shop.

Pizza Special: 5 Pizzas for $50 (Limit 4).

Goodenow & Bettman: We have a deal Bob! But do we have any fans left?

A bunch of global warming skeptics want to join eco club. It's a school organization. You have to let them in. But they just want to harass us with selective facts! Today: Eco club. So? Debate is good. You have :An Inconvenient Truth" to counter their arguments. Oh. Great. Now we'll have to read it.

'Take five Harry, I'm going on ahead to scout for sales'

Debating Society. I can accept that money is speech as long as we can agree that some spending is like yelling fire in a theater.

"The sales don't start until next week but I saved a huge amount of time by buying everything today!"
