I found out that out accounting department took it upon themselves to change the office supply company that we use. I just happened to see the delivery guy and realize that he was not the usual guy that made the office supply deliveries. I asked my secretary who that guy was and she told me that he is from our new discount office supplies company.
When I called all the people from our accounting department up to my office to explain why we had a new discount office supplies company, they informed me that they thought by changing companies we could save a lot of money. They did some more investigating and found a company that offered all of our office supply needs and they were thirty percent cheaper than our previous company.
I could not reprimand them for saving the company that much money so I decided to take them all out to lunch. I know that a savings like that is huge to a company of our size and the savings were going to add up to be huge over a year’s time.
I have since told them that anywhere else that they think we can save money; they have my permission to go ahead and do so.

I was on a cruise about three weeks ago, and saw one of the funniest t shirts I have ever seen. I asked the guy that was wearing it, where he had bought it. He told me about this website that sold funny t shirts that his son had turned him on to. He said that they had so many cheap t shirts on this site, that it was hard to buy just one when you were on there.
I of course had to wait until after the cruise to check out the funny t shirts website. I got online about a week after the cruise to do some shopping for myself. I found two funny t shirts on the site that I just had to have. The dude on the cruise was right about them having lots of cheap t shirts also.
I was having fun just shopping away when my wife told me to get off of the computer because she had to check her email. I placed my order and then let her have the computer. I could not believe the funny t shirts when I got them. They were great quality and better than I was expecting.

I was asked by my car insurance salesman if I had term life insurance and I had to tell him no. I did not want to get into this half hour discussion on how important it was so I just told him to shoot me some quotes and I would consider it.
He got the no medical exam life insurance quotes to me within about three days and I set them on the counter because I just knew that there was no way I would be able to afford it. I was having a hard time just paying all of my regular bills and could not work in another one right now.
My boss called me into his office about four days later to tell me that I was getting a promotion and a big raise, I had forgotten all about the term life insurance until I got home later that evening. I sat down at the table to go over the no medical exam life insurance quotes and was shocked at how reasonable the rates were for a person my age. I knew that with the raise, I would be able to afford to have life insurance. I called and set everything up the next day and have had coverage ever since.

I love wearing funny t shirts to school. All of my students love reading them too. I found a company online that sells funny shirts for teachers and I have been shopping on there now for about two years. All of the other teachers and administrators have requested the name of the website but I have only seen two other teachers in my building wear anything from the site.
Every year my students always try to top my funny shirts with their own. It is kind of like a contest that we hold every week. Since Friday is the day to dress casual, we hold our contest for the funny t shirts then. We have a little trophy that sits on the winner’s desk for the week. When the new winner is chosen, we move it over to their desk. I have only won the trophy twice this year which tells you that my kids have had some really great funny t shirts. Some of them have even designed their own funny t shirts with paint and markers. The ones that are homemade have to be the best because besides having the funny sayings, the kids just radiate pride when they show them off.
