    Saw this listing for a Hamilton Bulton listed as:

    HAMILTON WOMENS WRIST WATCH 14K GOLD FILLED

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181236431868Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    So I sent the seller a quick helpful note:

    ME: FYI - This is a mans watch, the model is Boulton.

    SELLER: Thank You, but as you can clearly see in the pictures the name on the watch is Hamilton.


    They walk among us...

    You tried. It's not your fault they're not willing to learn.

    You know the phrase 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink'?

    Well, I propose it should have been 'you can lead a man to reason but you can't make him think'.

    Anyone who would pay $350 for that watch shouldn't be allowed to think.

    They might pull a muscle. :p

    These sort of people are only using a few neurons...and sometimes they share those with others in the family!
