STSA #88 - BOGO’s, Blinkies and Peelies

Hiya! September is National Coupon Month. Coupons are all the rage these days.

(If you’re wondering - YES, Epic Dental is offering a rare coupon this month - it’s at the bottom!)

I used to think that I clipped a lot of coupons. Then, last week, after watching one of those “Super Extreme Coupon Queen” shows, I realized that in the world of major league couponing, I haven’t even cracked the minors. How about you? Here’s a little checklist courtesy of Samantha in Evansville, IN:

You know you’re addicted to coupons when…

…you lie in bed awake all night thinking, worrying if you have all your coupons ready for tomorrow’s big sale, and if there will be anything left.

…you see items in another person’s shopping cart and think, “got a coupon for that, and that..and that..”

…even your kids know if they want something there had better be a coupon for it!

…your friends or family see you with a shopping bag and ask, “what deal did you get on these?”

…you get more then one newspaper on Sunday and never read any of the articles.

…you take your coupons with you on vacation.

…you come home with multiple glucose meters but you don’t know anyone with diabetes.

…after reaching your limit, you email a coupon link to your husband to print out on his work computer.

…you shudder at all of the people in the grocery store paying full price.

…you actually pay for coupons on eBay

…you drive past speed limit signs and know what they would double or triple to if they were coupons.

…you keep scissors in your glove compartment.

So, how’d you do? I must admit that a few of those hit close to home, but I am not obsessed with clip…OOOH, 25 CENTS OFF MOON PIES! Gotta go get the scissors out of the car…

Special thanks to our friends at Epic Dental for making this possible once again!

Through September 9th, you can save 20% off any of Epic’s xylitol sweeteners. Head to our sweetener page, do some shopping and enter the coupon code: RUNNINGWITHSCISSORS.

STSA #87 How To Get Thrown Out of Class

Hello! As Alice Cooper never sang, “School’s back in session!” Time to fill that cool new Justin Bieber backpack with fresh crayons, construction paper, round-tipped scissors and gym shoes. That is, unless you’re 18 years old and heading off to college. Thanks to Brenda from Ft. Worth, Texas for this nugget of back-to-school humor.

FUN THINGS TO DO ON FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

1. Smoke a pipe and respond to each point the professor makes by waving it and saying, “Quite right, old bean!”
2. Sit in the front and color in your textbook.
3. Introduce yourself to the class as the “master of the pan flute”.
4. Wear earmuffs. Every few minutes, ask the professor to speak louder.
5. Ask whether the first chapter will be on the test. If the professor says no, rip the pages out of your textbook.
6. Sing your questions.
7. Page through the textbook scratching each picture and sniffing it.
8. Address the professor as “your excellency”.
9. Shout “WOW!” after every sentence of the lecture.
10. Bring a “seeing eye rooster” to class.
11. Start a “wave” in a large lecture hall.
12. Ask to introduce your “invisible friend” in the empty seat beside you, and ask for one extra copy of each handout.
13. Claim that you wrote the class text book.
14. Every few minutes, take a sheet of notebook paper, write “Signup Sheet #5″ at the top, and start passing it around the room.

Of course, we would NEVER condone such behavior in the classroom. Unless you actually think you can get away with it.

STSA #86 - Don’t read this if you suffer from Coulrophobia

Honk Honk! It’s International Clown Week. Who’s your favorite? Bozo? Krusty? Pennywise? Okay, that last one was a little too creepy for my taste. If you fear the face paint, stop reading. But if you’re ready to clown around, put on your size 24 shoes, grab that seltzer bottle and enjoy these quotes from and about famous jesters:

A clown’s makeup and character, that’s all he has to sell. He loves and believes in that character.
- Emmett Kelly

All the world loves a clown.
- Cole Porter

I had a friend who was a clown. When he died, all his friends went to the funeral in one car.
- Steven Wright

I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.
- Charlie Chaplin

I remember in the circus learning that the clown was the prince, the high prince. I always thought that the high prince was the lion or the magician, but the clown is the most important.
- Roberto Benigni

If by chance some day you’re not feeling well and you should remember some silly thing I’ve said or done and it brings back a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as your clown has been fulfilled.
- Red Skelton

Making eye contact with adults while dressed as a clown is risky.
- Doug Coupland

Clowns work as well as aspirin, but twice as fast.
- Groucho Marx

A clown sees life simply, without complications.
- George Bishop

By laughing at me, the audience really laughs at themselves and realizing they have done this, gives them sort of a spiritual second wind for going back into the battles of life
- Emmett Kelly

A Clown is an angel with a red nose.
- J.T. “Bubba” Sykes

Interesting fact: Cannibals refuse to eat clowns. Know why? They taste funny.
