Congratulations you have won a boat!!!! sort of....

Yesterday while I was out a guy trying to get people to apply for a credit card company was standing out in front of Circuit City. Normally when you think credit card application you think, "No thank you", but I saw the sign that says win a free boat and well, I was intrigued. I wasnt really interested, I dont have any credit cards and dont plan on getting any but I hesitated for a second and like all good salesmen he saw it and cornered me (he really just asked for a minute of my time).

So I asked him, "Whats up with the boat? What kind of boat is it." Seems like a stupid question seeing that there was a picture of the boat in the water but it turned out to be a good move. He quickly reply that it was the latest RCA model. I thought Wait a sec....when did RCA start making boats? So I asked him if it was just a remote control boat. Of course it was. He sold me on a boat. I was interested and MIGHT have applied for a chance at winning a big boat, one that I can get in while its in the water and fish from. Not a toy that is going to cost me 1000 dollars in batteries What a coincidence though I that would have a credit card with which to purchase them, how convenient.

So I smiled and said, my late, "No thank you" and walked in the store to buy batteries for the 15.00 helicopter I bought so me and Zimmer could crash it at the shop.
