Now Uncle Chet’s no Financial Advisor, but he likes to think he knows a thing or two about investing. “Discount” would be Chet’s middle name (if his middle name wasn’t already Billy-Bodean). Last weekend, Chet saw an Ad in Trigger Weekly that he couldn’t resist. It turns out the local Gander Mountain was having a blowout sale on the “Varmint Hunter” optical crossbow fixture—Only $19.99! He couldn’t believe his eyes. Chet couldn’t pass up such a deal, so on Saturday morning, we waited in the parking lot for the doors to open at 9am and fought the stampede to the hunting department. After avoiding a scuffle with a gentleman twice his size, tripping over a rack of camoflague, and nearly being impaled by a misplaced fishing pole, Chet managed to acquire the last remaining Varmint Hunter Optical Crossbow Scope on the shelves!
Fast forward to Saturday morning, Chet and his trusty dog Jed made their way out to the backwoods to hunt stray panthers and perhaps squirrels if panthers were too difficult to locate. After only 15 minutes of waiting, Jed spotted a crow and Chet lined up for the shot. Squirrels and panthers could wait. The Varmint Hunter could not. Chet released the first arrow and missed. He tried again…miss. On his third try, the Varmint Hunter cracked, snapped, and fell off the cross bow. Chet headed home disappointed and without a single worthy catch. The Varmint Hunter was a flop.
When it comes to cheap disposable deals, Chet knows best. When it comes to doing it right the first time, Keylex knows best.
