RENO, NV — After missing out on Black Friday shopping, local man Chris Rogers was forced to purchase a new television for the exact same price but without a "BLACK FRIDAY SALE" tag.
A dejected Rogers somberly carried his new 65-inch Samsung television to the checkout counter, yearning for the thrill of peeling off the sale tag.
"I missed out," sighed Rogers. "This television costs $799, but it doesn't have the sticker on it that says 'Regularly $1299, Save: $500' with the $1299 crossed out. It just says the price is $799. Where's the joy in that? It's so disappointing and dull."
Rogers strongly considered waiting until next year so he could get a television for the same price but with a "SALE" tag affixed to it. "I really wanted that tag," said Rogers. "Our television broke, and I waited for a month just so I could go on Black Friday. Then my daughter got sick, which ruined everything. Now I have to spend the same amount on a television, but I don't get a 'BLACK FRIDAY SALE' tag. This is the worst."
At publishing time, Rogers had decided to hold off on buying a car so he could pay the same amount but get a "NEW YEAR SALE" tag.
Rumors swirl about the current condition of Senator Mitch McConnell, but his staff have come out to say that even if he were dead he will still be able to finish his term.
