You know how it is when "they" compile statistics, it's usually a couple of years before they get published. Kind of like buying the latest electronic toy...it's obsolete by the time you get it home. :)<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.Samantha Gentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764092383245823784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-83941814139620867342014-11-16T12:57:03.138-06:002014-11-16T12:57:03.138-06:00Ashantay: Fist fights in line on Black Friday...h...Ashantay: Fist fights in line on Black Friday...how could that be? :) <br /><br />Black Friday shopping is the subject of my blog week after next (Sunday 11/30, only a couple of days after 11/28 Black Friday). And, of course, next week 11/23 is all about those Naughty Pilgrims to continue the Thanksgiving theme.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.

Perhaps all the retailers voted on it so they could have Black Friday shopping? <br /><br />Hmmm...I hadn't thought about factoring in the redneck numbers. First I'll need to figure out if they apply only to Thanksgiving. :)<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Samantha Gentryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764092383245823784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131669960192626946.post-77995286311035911172014-11-16T09:25:29.361-06:002014-11-16T09:25:29.361-06:00Hi Samantha, My well-honed left brain is eating up...Hi Samantha, My well-honed left brain is eating up all these stats.

Do you ...Great post. Looking forward to next week. <br />Do you have a statistic on number of fistfights engaged while waiting for stores to open to loss leader sales? (You know, advertising really cheap tvs, but there are only two available city-wide.) Huh. I wonder how many of those fist fighters were thankful for anything at all the day before? Just curious.

They're over achievers.<br />You forgot to include - how many rednecks go to jail for shooting family members.
