Buy One, Get One Free … who can resist a BOGOF! Scott, you softie, that was VERY heartwarming … and excellent use of ‘finagle’!

You have to grab those ideas wherever they turn up … two ideas for the price of one!?!

Oh, beautiful, Scott. You touched my old heart with this story. Hearing nothing but bad news in the world all the time is so exhausting and dispiriting. You have lifted me. Thank you.

OK, that one made me cry. I remember when my sister and I would go to foster homes and one of the parents would want to adopt one of us, but my father insisted that we were a Bogo also.

But WAIT! If you order now, at no extra cost, you'll get ANOTHER! Just pay a small handling fee. But you must act fast!

I was shocked until I reread the part about a large BOX with two heads. Whew! Glad it had a happy ending!
