If sales on Black Friday weekend are below projections, it does not bode well for the entire season. <br /><br />But I think there is a stronger connotation in most people's mind that has to do with the crazy, hostile crowds that fight over all the bargains. I wasn't kidding when I said people had been trampled to death in a Walmart. It's crazy. <br /><br />A BOGOF offer on penances!

Why is it called that? Any religious connotations?<br /><br />We also have a lot of BOGOF - Buy One Get One Free - offers.<br /><br />The other day at Confession the priest was offering BOGOF - Confess your sins and get TWO Penances!<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233433241312369057.post-74089029160157693122010-11-28T20:57:46.900-06:002010-11-28T20:57:46.900-06:00Victor - too bad you missed that sale!

I wonder if Black Friday will catch on elsewhere in the world. Hopefully you won't have people getting trampled like we did over here. <br /><br />Gentle - thank you for reading my everyday stories!

I got an email from an American Firm a few days ago about Black Friday!!! I didn't read the email, just glanced and deleted.<br /><br />I was told yesterday the TV I'm after was on sale at half-price!<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.com
