Some agents <a href="http://www.realtor.org/rmomag.NSF/pages/Trenches200712?OpenDocument">really are drinking</a> the Kool Aid (or Crystal Light)...





"I recently held an open house for a listing I just placed on the market. It was a rainy day and I wasn’t getting much traffic so I enjoyed the refreshments as I waited. Lo and behold, a couple who previously looked at the home burst through the doors with their two small children, ready to write a contract to buy the home.





As we gathered at the table to get down to business, the wife whispered to me that I had red lipstick smudges around my lips. I was shocked because I don't wear lipstick — especially not dark red lipstick. So I got up to look in the mirror, and gasped! The raspberry Crystal Light I had enjoyed during my downtime left behind a big, red mustache. There was no hiding it. Reluctantly, I confessed: “<strong>It’s a Kool-Aid mustache</strong>.”





The couple called over their three-year-old daughter to share in the giggles — and the little girl was wearing the same Kool-Aid mustache as me!





Nevertheless, I finished writing the contract — <strong>with a big ol’ Kool-Aid Mustache grin the whole way through</strong>!"
 
They <b>BURST</b> through the doors ...<p>


No doubt they felt it necessary to get their offer in before all the other bidders.

<p>The morning after the night before is the main reason in Britain for employees calling in sick, a study published Wednesday showed. </p>

<p>One in five workers opting to stay in bed do so because of over-indulgence, according to 500 individuals surveyed by Unum insurance company. Scots are the most likely to take sick leave in this way. </p>

<p>On Slate, a chick describes herself performing as a man with the drag Kings, the reverse of drag queens. And then there's a reference to a book written by a (lesbian) woman who spent a year disguised as a man, don't know if it was full time, in various situations, including monasteries and strip clubs.</p>

<p>Weird, very weird.</p>

<p>I like buffets as much as the next person. . . </p>

<p><strong>La. men claim buffet eatery banned them</strong></p>

<p>My favorite parts:</p>

<p>1) "She says, 'Y'all fat, and y'all eat too much,'" Labit said."</p>

<p>2) Labit and Borrelli said they felt discriminated against because of their size. "<strong>I was stunned, that somebody would say something like that. I ain't that fat, I only weigh 277</strong>," Borrelli said.</p>
