    I was looking for a t-shirt and ended up with a Russian bride.

    The next day and I found a nice wealthy woman from Nigeria that needed my help when her husband died and left the family fortune to her. All I had to do was pay a few "legal fees" and I receive a ton of money from her. :lol:

    I passed on that deal and paid my car insurance instead. :Thumbsup:

    I have bought stupid stuff like t-shirts when I was looking for car or bike parts. Once I was channel surfing I bought a cheep radar detector off QVC. Oh the shame yes I stopped on QVC and even worse I bought something. :(

    Not sure this counts But, since I started this I can approve it, I bought a 1970 Cooper S while shopping for new brake parts for my '64 Cooper...

    Yes you do! And while your shopping for the bag perhaps you could get accidentally buy a 15% pulley, cold air intake and a good exhaust! :D

    Well and so here I did it again... I was cruisin' the eBay, for God knows what, I think I was look'n for a putter grip for my Ping Anser.. Anyway, I wound up buying a Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless Newport Beach, a classic Ping JB5 and a new exhaust pipe for my Bonanza mini bike. Geez my wife's gonna be pissed! :frown2:

    Oh and I bought the Ping Man blackout grip too.....

    And I forgot to add, I also had to have the Scotty pivot divot tool too. Yes, I bought that as well. :rolleyes5:

    I'm done... for now... Really, I am!
