Once is Enough
A sales representative stops at a small manufacturing plant in the Midwest. He presents a box of cigars to the manager as a gift. No, thanks, says the manager. I tried smoking a cigar once and I didn't like it. The sales rep shows his display case and then, hoping to clinch a sale, offers to take the manager out for martinis. No, thanks, the plant manager replies. I tried alcohol once, but didn't like it. Then...

Black Friday Shopping
As you probably know, the day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday in retail, because that's when the businesses that have gone into the red during the summer begin making a profit and go back into the black because of increased sales.
