An ipod vending machine!?

Some friends are getting married. So, I went to Macy's, where they registered, and tried to pick out something cool. Well, all the good, and not t00 expensive stuff was taken. $12.99 washcloths. Truffle colored. OK, what the hell, I'll get them a set of those. Then the salesperson asked me "How many?" It hit me all at once..."$12.99 PER WASHCLOTH?" Holy shit! "I'll think about it."

Really, I didn't think much more about it, since there's no way I'm getting them 1 or even 2 washcloths. Lame present anyway.

Walking around Macy's looking for another option, I came across a very normal looking vending machine...the kind that holds the candy bars and chips in those spiral dispensers. Only instead of candy and chips, they were iPods and iPhones, DVDs and video games, etc. Just slide the credit card, hit "E-7" and you get the Pink iPhone. Oh no! I meant "F-7," the new Indiana Jones movie. Weird.

Oh, they're getting a bottle of wine. Can't whine about that!
