-buy a real cheap cigar.

-smoke it a third of the way down.

-briefly stick the cigar in your ass ( the unlit end)

-place the cigar outside.

-walk out later to see it gone.

-laugh the rest of the day away.

Well, there's three possibilities the way I see it:

1) It's the same douche doing it.

2) It's someone who doesn't like the "smell" of your cigar, and is simply tossing it out somewhere.

3) You're really hammered, and forget where you left it.......... or you actually finished it, but thought you didn't............. or thought you laid somewhere safe, but actually dropped it and stepped on it as you stumbled back into the bar.

I vote number 3........

Had a similar experience back in the 80's. There was a Fitness Center in the mall near my house. It was around the end of November and they were offering a two year renewal at 40% off, as a Christmas gift. Like a chump, I went in for the two year renewal. A few weeks later, I went there for a workout, and the place was closed. A sign said they were out of business, but we could use another fitness center. It would honor our membership but was 10 miles away.

WTF??? They must've known they were shutting down, even as they took our money for re-upping.

How much $$$ did ya lose (a box of cigar's worth?)? And why is 10 miles too far to travel for exercise? Some folks jog that much every day, ya lazy bastid.

This should be a fun year! [sarcasm]

Hey, I wasn't looking for help or advice.

I was ranting.

WTF... I think there is only 1 barbed wire fence between here and the North pole. Heck why not move to Alaska? Oh wait this year I could freeze in Atlanta to. Maybe by May I'll see the 30's here.

Now if I really wanted a long rant I could start on the way people drive here. Why just the other day some moron in front of me...

Being a leader doesn't mean you have to have all the answers. You just have to be able to manage the people that have the answers, ask them the right questions, and be open to the answers you get... you may have a great year. Think positive.

Exact same thing happened to me at the local Powerhouse gym. Place 1.5 miles away sold me a lifetime membership for me, my wife, and my son. It was $500 up front and $20 monthly for all 3 of us in perpetuity.

Effers closed. When I called Powerhouse to request a refund, they told me of the other Powerhouse 10 miles away I was 'obligated' to use because it was within 15 miles. So I went to that one... until THEY closed and were bought out.

Luckily for me I still had the contract and the new gym has honored it for years now. They improved the heck out of the place, too. Much nicer now. Still gotta drive 10 miles to the gym, but whataya gonna do?

Good answer and advice!

I'm going to try for + for sure, need to if only for my sanity.

Funny thing, this new guy worked with a few of us, amazed at what we have accomplished, he asked a lot of questions too, we told him what challenges are and tools we need. Two weeks later.....[ram27bat]

Hi Ho!
