Yep edog, buyer beware. Mr. Brady said that to Greg when Greg bought an old piece of crap Chevy convertible. Greg turned that piece of junk into a really nice piece of junk that fell apart around him after he got it running.
 Of course, there was also the time bobby purchased hair tonic to sell, and he sold greg a bottle before the prom and it turned greg's hair orange and he had to go to his mother's beauty salon to have it fixed before the prom, and while there he ran into the two prettiest girls in his high school getting their hair done for the same prom......bobby and cindy and cousin oliver then dumped the hair tonic onto cindy's white rabbits, turning them orange, and they sold the unique "orange" bunnies to the pet store and recouped bobby's original investment in the bogus hair tonic.....the lesson here was "never give up, always look for a unique marketing angle to sell your product. How about the time Alice sprained her ankle when she tripped over the chinese checkers the kids left on the floor, and she almost ruined her relationship with Sam the Butcher as a result of being laid up and unable to attend the 17th annual Butcher's Ball & Bowling tournament.   Lesson here:    Always pick up your toys. Peter broke mom's vase with the INFAMOUS basketball falling down the stairs, over and over and over again.   ALL the kids confessed except Peter so Peter could go on the big camping trip.....obvious lesson:  "DONT PLAY BALL IN THE HOUSE".....lesson part2:  Tell the truth. Vincent Price held the boys hostage in a Hawaiian Burial Cave using a spear, claiming the boys were there to steal his archaeolgical discovery:  The boys escaped in part because (a) Vincent Burned his beans and (b)  Mom and Dad Brady followed bobby's popcorn trail..... Lesson in this episode was dont leave food unattended on the burner...or maybe it was never bring a spear to gunfight?   I forget.... Peter once built a model Volcano, complete with oozing lava (mud) charged by a large battery.  it never worked properly and he wound up dousing Marcia's "High school Booster" club in mud, causing Marcia to be kicked out.   Never use poor quality bateries in your Volcano was the lesson I took home from that episode..... The boys once broke Marcia's nose with a football, possibly the same football used in the episode where Bobby faked having terminal cancer in order to meet Joe Namath,....while the boys were NOT playing ball in the house, there was still a valuable lesson here, namely do not try to catch a football with your face..... Then there was the time Bobby swallowed a piece of metal, I dont know what the lesson was here but I am sure there was one......

  Now this in no means is a knock against the poster but merely it may just be my memory fading. Happy New Year everyone.

 I like that, I am going to insist that, for the New Year, my friends and family and employees stop calling me "da burglar" and start calling me......."The Poster!"     Maybe Billyjoe can help me scrounge up financing for a movie based on a script I am writing, "The Poster always replies twice...."   But, to answer the question at hand regarding Mrs. Brady and the beauty salon, you seem to have misinterpreted the apostrophe attached to the word "mother's"  as denoting POSSESSION when in fact it is meant to simply convey that this is the salon his mother FREQUENTS as a customer......GET IT??? In other words, if you are religious and your wife is not but goes to your church to support you, and then one day your wife says to me, "would you like to attend service at my husband's CHURCH?"    she obviously is not denoting OWNERSHIP but rather membership.......

  There is no need to get all worked up over this DaBurglar, it was I who was obviously confused. If I had written this it might have gone like: to have it fixed he had to go to the beauty salon his mother patronizes.

 
  Again I apologize and it was not my intention to get you all worked up over this.
 
  Happy New Year.

  I have always though that Mrs. Brady was Mrs. Partridge's sister in law but I could be wrong.

  DaBurglar I sincerely apologize, I was under the impression that you scored higher on the SAT's. Seeing your scores now puts things into focus and I can only imagine that, if you took the test again today, your new scores would easily eclipse the marks you set back in 1986. One thing puzzles me though; what year did you graduate college, didn't you mention 1989 in prior postings? If this were true then I congratulate you sir for finishing Harvard in 2 years. I tip my 3 cornered hat to you.

  I graduated Highschool in 1985, I just typed the wrong date......I hate these text boxes, my cursors jump around and I have lost more than a few posts when I accidentally delete or the cursor "jumps" to clear form,,,,, I was originally Harvard class of 1989, but I actually earned my degree (double major in Economics and Government) in January of 1992.   I worked for a year in between my Junior and senior years where I managed an actual Asphalt plant.....I spent one semester off due to surgery between my sop****re and Junior year, and my double Major required that I take extra courses which amounted to an extra semester since I didnt want to either do summer school nor take additional courses during regular semsters on top of the normal course load.      What else do you need to know tedlark?      Edited to add:  anyone notice how the software (which deleted profanity and obscene words)   blotted out the word SOPH OMORE  or specifcially the four letters together after the "p" and before the "r" because it spells  H O M O?   this is absurd and totally wrong, since there is nothing wrong or obscene about that word.   The human race is called  HO M o Sapiens for crying out loud
