    This struck me as funny....

    Looking at the latest HF email ad, I noticed that there was a coupon for 5" swivel casters at $3.99 each. Limit five. Limit FIVE????????

    What am I gonna do with a fifth wheel? Keep it as a spare?

    I gotta get more sleep!

      If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.

          Either there's some retailer thing about capping the sale at $20 or it's designed to lure you to buy 3 more at the regular price.

              As part of the current privatization, "starve the beast", mentality, perhaps the Pentagon is going to be outsourced?

                  So buy 5. Then go out to the parking lot, drop them off and go back for more. Or go to the counter with 8 and have them ring up 2 sales of 4 each.

                      now what would really be funny is if the limit was 3.

                          Um, guys? Isn't the reasoning behind this obvious?

                          It's Harbor Freight. And you know that at least 20% of anything you buy at Harbor Freight will be defective ...

                                          it couldnt be more true! i've been weary about buying things from there. came really close a couple of times, but the variance in the product there was big.

                                          i was going to buy the casters, but they didnt have any locking ones
