Happy Birthday Bill!<\/p>\n

Double Nickles: The Big 55!\u00a0 And was he ever excited.\u00a0 He now can shop at Eagle Quality on Senior Discount Day,\u00a0 (every Thursday) for a 10% discount.\u00a0 Here he is perusing his first adds…..<\/p>\n

As soon as I returned from my trip south I called Eagle Quality and talked to supervisor Janessa to let her know what a big deal this was for Bill.\u00a0 She jumped right on board and created\u00a0 “Eligibility Requirements” for being “allowed” to shop discount Thursdays.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As soon as Bill left to do the shopping, I jumped on my bike and headed over to give the check out clerks the heads up.\u00a0 When Bill came through the line they were to act like there was a problem.\u00a0 Whether he was a “legitimate” senior.\u00a0 The guy working the isle that Bill went through was great.\u00a0 He called the supervisor and she came over with the official guidelines that he had to read and sign\u00a0 in order to become an “official” senior discount customer.\u00a0 It was at about the third clause when he realized he’d been had…..<\/p>\n

Here’s a copy of the “official” guidelines.\u00a0 One of them was:<\/p>\n

“Your wife will know you’re a senior citizen when she wakes up to find you sitting in your bathrobe out on the deck with the pellet gun in your lap waiting to lay into those pesky squirrels raiding the bird feeder.<\/p>\n
