Shoppers race for holiday savings

“The other line moves faster.”

- O#'Brian#'s Law

I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving. I must say I had my share of stuffing and turkey and then enjoyed my food coma for several hours on the couch and I needed the sleep, too, because I was going to catch some early bird sales on Friday. From the experience I have taken away two basic facts of this venture: If you are standing outside in the freezing rain for a clerk to open the door then you are quite obviously insane; And if you think being a gentleman is a good thing on this day then you're sadly mistaken. Chivalry is officially suspended from the hours of six and eleven come Black Friday morning.
