Bathroom vanity sales should be going through the roof. Check this out:

Home Depot



And you thought Trek isn't cool.

I wouldn't want to be the guy who was supposed to intercept that stuff before the vanities were sold.

What is a vanity? By name alone it sounds unecessary. Yet all the cases are reported as men having bought the vanities. I mean, vanities... sheesh.

I think it's some sort of table with a big mirror, and I think they sometimes have a drawer under the table.

I'm not sure, but I think they call it a vanity because women are supposed to sit in a chair in front of it, & use it like a desk while they're doing their make up.

You tend to see 'em a lot in old movies or movies about rich folks.

I have to wade through a bongload of these @&!# things every time I Google one of my favorite model/singer/actresses from the Eighties. (No, I've tried Denise Matthews & D.D. winters, & pretty much got the same results.)

A vanity is nothing more than a bathroom cabinet with a sink.

AndyC, I think we may be hearing about some vanities being bought with body parts enclosed.

Oddly enough, I'm planning on attending a Home Depot job fair.

I'd keep that brick of weed and share it with friends.

AndyC

I was kind of wondering how honest you have to be to find a hundred pounds of weed and then simply turn it in. It's obviously worth a fortune. I don't even have anything to do with drugs, but I'd surely be tempted. And a building contractor should have no trouble finding buyers on job sites.

Then again, fear of the rightful owners would probably keep me honest in that situation, not to mention getting caught by the police trying to sell that much dope.

There is a point where you step back and say "Whoa.  Too much."

From what I can remember from the newspaper article, there was not only a little weed, but also some Coke. The stuff you put up your nose, and not the stuff you drink. And the drugs combined had a street value of $200,000 or something like that. And this is not the first time something like this was found, but the second or third time. I bet the store had a run on bathroom vanities after that news got out.

Hell no.. I wouldn't want to go to prison for the rest of my life. I value my freedom to much. But hey what if it was cash stuffed inside the vanity I wouldn't think twice about hanging onto it.

No wonder you can't find any employees at Home Depot who know what they're talking about.  They're all high . . .
