Avatar is a case in point. There were lines out the door and down the block of my neighborhood theater for that piece of drivel. Two weeks later, when the theater offered $5 weekday tickets, my wife and I suffered through that chick flick and it wasn't worth half of what I paid for it. The fact is 10 million Elvis fans could be and were wrong.T.W.

If there's a great ice cream shop and I arrive and all three windows have big lines it just means the quality is still worth it. The lines that are truly annoying are the ones that are obviously there because some jackass has done some poor planning. Like when you're trying to cash out at WM or the supermarket and there are 30 aisles with two of them staffed. Or when you're waiting in a long line at the post office and the clerk just drops the overhead door down and heads off to lunch, meaning everyone has to join the other long line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
