¡Bad Doggie!

In Arizona, a delivery man was instructed to place two Super Bowl tickets beneath the doormat, but instead slips the envelope under the door.  When the owner of the house came home, his black lab, Buddy, he decided to use the $1,800 package as a chew toy.  Ha, ha... I find that amusing.

Question: What could someone do with the $1,800 they would've spent on Super Bowl tickets if they elected to watch it on television instead?

According to Google, the answer is that you could buy a lovely Dell "Inspiran" laptop, pay off the penalties on your health insurance, purchase a partially used 93 Honda Civic, get an HD TV by Sony, or, my personal favorite, refurbish your house with energy-efficient windows.  Any of those sound much better than traveling to a different city, only to have to deal with crowds and bustle, with the result being getting to squint from nose-bleed heights at a bunch of guys throw around a ball.  Sounds like good fun.

My suggestion: Use the $1,800 to buy yourself the Sony HD TV, invite all your friends over for a big partay, and enjoy good company while you get to see the game closer than you would hundreds of feet away in the stands if you were actually there.  Afterall, the commercials are the best part anyway.  =)
