Orphan Annie can eat those all day long, and they lock them up these days, so I rounded up some guy who was stocking wiper blades and drug him over.

"I'll take four of those," I sez. "I can give you two," says he. "People buy them up." "So it makes a difference to you if I buy them up or if somebody else buys them up?" I asked. "Well, some guys came in last night and I gave them two," he says. "Fine," I said. "I'll take two. And my wife will be over in a minute to buy her two." He looks at me, gives me a disgusted sigh, and says, "Well if you're gonna do that I'll just give you four." "Thanks," I said.
Did you ever think if he would of sold them all to the guy the day before you would of got none ! Moral to the story lets think about the next guy.

I got two and my wife got two. Is that considerate enough for you?

Phil I never said you weren't considerate or did anything wrong.

Our Wally World limits to three boxes. Dealers were making rounds early after overnight stocking and buying them all for resale. Now that means three individual boxes of 25 or three boxes of 100. Figure that one out. Went there the other day and plenty of Federals in the white box 100 rounds, 3-1 1/8-7 1/2 1200 fps for $30. Above that were the Estate 3 1/4- 1 1/8-7 1/2 1250 fps 100 box for $25. Both made by Federal. Easy choice.

Our WalMart has a two box limit, but there are no boxes. Thank goodness I don't shoot that much and have plenty of shells.
