I know some businesses go belly up...and sometimes I can figure out why.

I used the "buy it now" option on eBay and this week purchased a 6ft HDMI cable for my new TV.

Last week I bought a new flatscreen TV that can double for a monitor for my computer. 32" Vizio 1080p was only $155 on sale at Walmart. Has VGA, HDMI, and composite inputs. But it didn't come with an HDMI cable.

So I go onto eBay and order this 6ft HDMI cable. It was .99 cents. What a deal. Got it today. It was sent priority mail in a padded envelope at a cost of $5.10.

Let's see...I pay .99 cents, they paid five times that for shipping...oh yeah...really smart business tactics...

I think that's the same company that did my taxes. Now you have me worried.

.99 cents? That's less than a penny.

Some people read the writing on the walls; I proofread it.

On a bathroom wall, I once saw:

God is dead -- Nietzsche

And underneath that, another person had written:

Nietzsche is dead -- God
