Money Quote Friday – Buy An Elephant Edition.

This morning at the ATM machine, the guy next to me was on his cell phone talking to one of his buddies. This was what I heard:

“Well, they were offering no money down and no payments till 2010, so we bought the big one. Might as well get the biggest and most expensive plasma on that plan, right?”

Hearing this, I thought this quote was quite appropriate:

The only reason a great many American families don’t own an elephant is that they have never been offered an elephant for a dollar down and easy weekly payments. ~Mad Magazine

Have a great weekend everyone, and be careful of the Best Buy and Circuit City ads!
