That's
the question i asked myself today when i woke up.
I
don't KNOW why i did ...because it is
not the first time i have heard about it.
I have
read about this crazy product before. It was a serious craze many years ago.
Millions
of sane people pulled out money to actually buy a rock .
A rock
they called a pet.
No am
not kidding.
If you
are wondering if i am just making this up...click here to read about pet rock
on wikipedia.
As you
can see , this is very REAL.
Millions
of real people bought a rock as a pets.
What
the...?
My
head is spinning.
Why
did people spend money on a rock?
It
beats me.
Were
they mind controlled or what?
What
value were they getting from buying it?
Was
the rock vomitiing clean notes of $1000 bills?
It is
really something to think about.
And
yes .
Shot
up...I know.
It is
really none of my business what people decide to buy with their money...but i
just can't help but think how the pet rock craze would have played out in
Africa (Nigeria to be exact).
I can
just imagine how your family and friends would react.
They
will likely think you bought an idol.
Your
mum would likely send a prayer request to church ...asking the pastor to pray
for you.
"He
is going crazy...He just bought a rock and calls it a pet"
Your
dad would likely book an appointment with a shrink for you.
Nah...not
in Africa.
Your
dad would probably, tie you up to the trunk of a big tree with iron chains
...and BEAT the living shit out of you.
Till
that "rock buying demon" in you , is completely exorcised.
Well,
maybe he would not be that crazy.
It is
possible though.
Anyway...
that's this crazy world for you.
I gat
to run now.
I have
to go stroke my pet rock now. ;)
(Ta...Never
gonna happen)
Bye.
