i had never heard of black friday until about three years ago .and when i did i thought it sounded rather ominous .but it turns out that its called black friday due to the fact it puts stores "in the black" for the year .thats a big statement too .just think about how much business a store has to do to be put in the black for an entire year one just one day .that is a whole lot of revenue generated in just one day .and the fact that the items all the people are on sale i think only adds to the amazement of it all .but i know it was a good day for the economy
however it wasn't so good in showing the good in people .every year on this day you hear of at least one death .either caused by someone cutting in line so someone else shoots or stabs them .which makes no sense because if you're in jail for murder .you can't really take advantage of the good deals .the other unfortunate thing that occurs is people in a mad rush to get in the stores stamped and trample unfortunate souls to death .i'm actually unaware how you could be so wanting of something you fail to notice a human being underneath your feet
the yahoos that camp out for days in front of the stores to be the first in line crack me up .especially the ones up north in the sub freezing weather camping out for up to 2 nights just to save $200 .i think there is some seriously idiotic people in this world missing more then a few screws .i'm all for saving a few bucks but two days in a tent rather then spent in my own bed in the comfort of my home .i think i'd spend the extra money
