Today my task was to look through the newspaper and read all of the ads. Then I was to judge the most truthful one and buy that product. So, sit with me as I read the newspaper. Come on. This is so exciting and you know it.
...
The Business section of The Dallas Morning News had quite a few ads pushing Small Business loans (don't need), entry into the SMU School of Business (Yeah, like I need another business degree), and something about a low interest rate on a CD (sure, if you have the greatest credit in the world) but I don't think any of these are right.
...
Lets visit the Sports Section
Tuesday is Pint Nite at Humperdink's Bar and Grill. For $1.99 a pint, you can't go wrong. This one is in the lead.

Ah, the Guide. Now here is a part of the paper littered with ads. Dallas Medical Spa has 9.50 Botox treatments. That doesn't sound right.
There is a 60 day Gut-Buster Boot Camp for only $66.00 from something called Private Workout.
Some stuff about Senior Citizen Living. That right there is a lie. Those are old folks homes no matter how much you clean them up.
---
Onto the Metro Section. Champion Windows and Siding claims they can save me money on energy bills. Not Likely.
I have never noticed but there were no ads in the Obituaries. Huh?
---
The Front section has an ad for Advanced Digital aids for $895. Then they try to up sell you with a deal on a 50% off super aid for $1395. That seems dishonest. Taking advantage of deaf people. You should be ashamed...Trinity Hearing Health care. Crap, they have my name.
There is also a replacement windows advertisement that says "From $224". That means there is absolutely no way that you can get them for that much. Liars.
Well, I guess that settles it. I will have to go drinking next Tuesday at Humperdink's. Darn, and I so wanted Botox.
That is all,
Newt

Ummm...I think you should go for the Gut-Buster Boot Camp. I'm just sayin'...the pints might contribute to the...gut.
I think it says a lot about the advertising in the Dallas Morning News that the most honest ad in the whole thing was for beer. Sounds like my kind of paper.
I like GWPTC opinion better than yours, Erin. Just so you know, I lost 4 lbs. So bootcamp isn't in the cards.
Neither is keeping those 4 lbs. off.
I will say that I really appreciate how much you are sacrificing for this book. I do know how much you hate having to go drink beer. I commend you, sir.
Good job on the 4 pounds! I think you should reward yourself with beer.
I am glad Thomas finally sees how dedicated I am.
Oh, such a sacrifice! lol. Have fun with that one! :)
