Default striek 2


No I have not seen the Truman show.
And no i refuse to order anything onlinebecause i am afraid to put my
credit card number on the internet.

i saw a special on msnbc about eonline ordering for xmas, where they
tell you how not to get burned ("order early" they said...duh) cause
toysrus ran out of toys and all these kids got back-order notes for
xmas. it was one of those call-in shows where people told the host of
their successes or horror stories with it. apparenly it is a LIVE show.
so these folks are calling in and most of them are saying it sucks
because they only got part of their order in time, or it's very difficult
to return or exchange things, or whatever. only one lady said
it was a breeze, but she started shpping in october. so one guy calls in
and he's like kind of mad, and he says I ordered a whole buncho of stuff
and NOTHING arrived yet" so the host is like "Hhhm really... nothing at
all?" so the caller says "Nothing! And I ordered like a whole case of
Preparation H and some magazines, and nothing has come in yet."

So of course they disconnect the caller at that second (CLICK!) and the
host says "Everbody's a comedian" and goes on with the show.

OK, is it me, or what? Like am I stupid, or what, cause I DON'T GET IT.
Why in the world did he say Preparation H and magazines? I mean there
must be joke somewhere in there, I don't get it. Is it funny? Can
somebody explain it to me?
