The Henrico County School System based near Richmond decided to get rid of their old iBook Laptops, most were 4 years old.
They thought they had a great idea by letting everyone know they could come to the Richmond International Raceway and purchase one of these old machines for $50, what a bargain.
Well along with that bargain came a whole lot of other things:
- A woman lost one of her shoes (a flip-flop of course) and was forced to limp on hot blacktop with one shoe.
- A little girls stroller was crushed in a stampede when they opened the gates at 7:00 am.
- An Elderly man was thrown to the ground
But this is the best quote from the story:
- Blandine Alexander, 33, said one woman standing in front of her was so desperate to retain her place in line that she urinated on herself.
And I bet she wasn't even considerate enough to be wearing Depends!

This must one of the signs of the Apocalypse.
I saw this on the cnn website this morn and nearly posted it to my blog .... What a sad commentary (the article, not the fact that I was going to post it to my blog)!
I can't beleive a grown woman pissed herself. Even more nuts was the 20-year-old who brought a folding chair to beat people back with! Next time the school system should just put the computers on Ebay!
Yes, I probably would wet myself for an iBook. But it would have to be a brand new one, still in the box, preferably red (especially designed for me) and in the privacy of my own home.
