Free Button Cell Batteries

Where I live we get an advertisement in the mail once in a while from a local auto dealership. The advertisement is a gimmick to get people to come to the dealership. It consists of a big sheet of thick paper with a combination box attached to it. The combo box has a number on it that is revealed by pulling a tag out of the box. The box has batteries in it and lights up to reveal the numbers when you pull the tab out. 

If you pry the box open, there are button cell batteries in it. If you use this type of batteries, you can collect these ads from friends and family and stock up on button cell batteries for free.

Dress Code

traveler became lost in the Sahara Desert. Realizing his only chance for survival was to find civilization, he began walking. Time passed, and he became thirsty. More time passed, and he began feeling faint. He was on the verge of passing out when he spied a tent about 500 meters in front of him. Barely conscious, he reached the tent and called out, "Water!"

A Bedouin appeared in the tent door and replied sympathetically, "I am sorry, sir, but I have no water. However, would you like to buy a tie?" With this, he brandished a collection of exquisite silk neckwear.

"You fool," gasped the man. "I'm dying! I need water!"

"Well, sir," replied the Bedouin, "if you really need water, there is a tent about two kilometers south of here where you can get some."

Without knowing how, the man summoned sufficient strength to
drag his parched body the distance to the second tent. With his last ounce of strength, he tugged at the door of the tent and collapsed.

Another Bedouin, dressed in a costly tuxedo, appeared at the door and enquired, "May I help you, sir?"

"Water..." was the feeble reply.

"Oh, sir," replied the Bedouin, "I'm sorry, but we have a dress code. You can't come in here without a tie!"
