Alert: Family Boycott Update

People, I've been so busy I forgot to announce the newest family boycott: U-Haul.

Do not do business with U-Haul.  The second of our 3 sons has been treated very badly by U-Haul.  He went to get his reserved truck, and shazam, there was no truck!

This also happened to our oldest son.  And to our second son's girlfriend's brother, on the same day as the incident that set the boycott in motion.

I don't know how U-Haul stays in business.  They should change their name to "U-Haul ... Maybe .... Maybe Not".  If they didn't paint all those fancy scenes on their trucks, they'd have plenty of room for the new name.  You know, the saguaro cactus and the red rocks of Sedona.  Fish and bears and 3 toed sloths.  All to distract you from the fact that the truck you are looking at is supposed to be in another city, in use by someone who is sadly not able to move at the moment.  Sorry, no move for you, chump.

If you need a truck, try Budget.  And what ever happened to Ryder?  Subsumed by U-Haul no doubt.

You're probably curious about the other family boycotts.  There's only one, Abercrombie & Fitch, which some of you make think ended, but oh no, absolutely not, it's still in effect and very successful, I add smugly.

According to my daily, printed newspaper (yes, I am an old geezer clinging to my outdated news source), teen stores are in a sales slump.  I only take credit for A&F's pain.  Ha ha, you filthy pornographers.  Don't mess with me.

U-Haul ... Maybe ... Maybe Not, you've been warned.
