A 50% discount on a jacuzzi room, with a king size bed, roses, buffet, and an incredibly romantic evening at one of the local area hotels.

This is where Groupon fails. I do NOT want to know that there are 189 other couples about to have the same experience.

The Three Magi: Typical Guys

In thinking about the gifts delivered to Jesus by the three Magi (or Wisemen), it occurs to me how typically male those three guys were. Gold, frankincense and myrrh are all wonderfully useful and valuable gifts. Yet all three still require someone to go to the store to buy baby clothes, diapers (nappies), and food.

I bet the Magi didn’t even bring a baby toy.

And I am pretty sure they brought Joseph the biblical equivalent of a six-pack or bottle of Scotch, although that seems to have been left out of the official story.

A follow up to our last post on ironic vehicles. The scene before you, seen in Scottsdale, Arizona:

• a fire truck,
• at a warehouse specializing in swimming pools,
• on a rainy day

Wonder if a store specializing in open swimming pools would have the same issue on days like this?
