Life is Short - II

You Get What You Pay For
Clearly this is not true. Have you been shopping recently? Only a very naive person would believe that you get what you pay for. In point of fact, if you check your purchases carefully, you'll find that you get whatever they feel like giving you. And if corporations get any more powerful, you soon might not even get that.

Tomorrow Is Another Day
Not necessarily true. Today is another day. We have no idea what tomorrow is going to be. It might turn out to be another day, but we can't be sure. If it happens, I'll be the first to say so. But, you know what? By that time, it will be today again.

Everybody Has His Price
Not so. Would you believe there are millions of people who do not have their price? Thanks to a government mix-up, many people have their neighbors price.

They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To
Actually they do make 'em like they used to, they just don't sell 'em anymore. They make 'em, and then they keep 'em.
