“DIVORCE SALE,” was written in big, rushed letters on the
sign.
“Honey, do you think we should turn around?” I’m not usually
pulled in by sales on the side of the road, especially highways, and especially
from people holding signs.
“I think if we’re going to turn around, we should do it
right now.”
“No. Because you know what will happen. We’ll buy something
very nice for very cheap and get a visit from a very angry person in a week or
two.”
“We got all that other nice furniture from a divorce. Just
sayin’”
“I know. But it wasn’t purchased from a sad person holding a
sign on the highway…”
“She could throw it in the bushes just in case he shows up.”
Ah yes, divorce sales… which are arguably even better than the
combined total of estate, yard, and bake sales because there’s an element of
one person trying to screw other another (or letting go of “baggage”) in a
divorce sale.
