Apr 16, 2004 One very eary Sunday morning while my husband John was playing Mr. Fixit in the bathroom,I noticed the kitchen sink was clogged. After about a 25 minute search for the plunger without any luck I knew it meant another trip to the Home Store.Remembering it was the Lord's Day, I hesitated at first but it wasn't too far from the house, so I grabbed my keys and My husband and headed for the store. As we drove down Main St. we passed about three Churches, glancing over I noticed the parking lots were empty. I knew it was still Sunday,"So where are all the people?" I pondered aloud. As the car turned the corner into the Home Depot lot I spotted them, there they were hundreds of them all shapes and sizes waiting for the store to open.The line was about a mile long, just then the doors opened and the congregation filed in solemnly.At the gates were two young men handing out bulletins. I accepted one and proceded to read its important message. "The Home Center Commandments". I. I am Home Depot,thou shall not worship or shop at any other Hardware stores. 2. You shall not purchase any other repair products elsewhere. 3. You shall not use American Express at the ten items or less register. 4. Remember we are open seven days a week for your convenience and evenings even on the Sabbath. 5. Respect our Employess, even when they ignore you. 6.You shall not kill (our houseplants). 7.You shall not cheat on us while visiting Lowes. 8.You shall not steal(you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. 9. You shall not accuse your neighbor of borrowing your rake. 10. You shall not covet your neighbors lawn mower. Keep these commandments and receive a $10.00off plumbing supplies,one day only. I turned to John and questioned him,"Well what do you think of that?" With a sly grin he answered "Thou shall not hesitate". ------------ Comments? Email Lisa P.
