One word says it all

Our girl Kathy may be queen of the short shorts, but I challenge her to beat this one! Of course it's not really a fair challenge, as it requires graphical representation as well. But here you go folks...a time management idea for the holidays (note the house on the right):

A friend had sent me a forward of this pic. Hilarious.

Oh, man, that cracks me up! Totally excellent.

I love it! And, it saves the guy on the right from spending tons on his electricity bill.

I'm feeling scroogy this year, and this approach suits me just fine. And yes, Cathi, first and foremost is the electricity bill.

Leah J. Utas said...

I love it. I'd be even cheaper and use ".

Reb said...

That is priceless!

I think this neighbor deserves the award for writing a one-word description on how he feels about the whole thing...It was still an effort on his part to make this display, but compared to his neighbor, he spent less time, energy, effort, money, etc., and is probably reaping all the rewards as far as notoriety and traffic to his neighborhood. They're probably all coming to see his house, and not the Griswold-type display next door.
I like Leah's idea, too...just use " -- an even shorter way to express his feelings!
Thanks for the holiday chuckle, Lois!

Glad you're willing to concede the award, Kathy...I think Leah's got the right idea here, we must do what we can to conserve electricity, and his suggestion beats all.

Love this one, Lois, and I think it deserves the Power of Language tag, too. He's packed a lot into a little room.
