We looked at more of dad's stuff today that my mom is sorting and getting ready for sale. I went through his fishing gear recently and found a thermometer that would tell the water temp at different depths with a price tag of $50 on it. Today we just sat and visited with my mom and sister and I was trying to think of the worst purchase I ever made. I'm sure there are some, but for some reason nothing came to mind. I asked my wife and she rolled her eyes and said "BOXES!" I said "Are you talking about my tools in the original boxes?" "Yes! They're BOXES." I replied "Well honey, I could sell those for more than I paid for them." She looks at me and says "BOXES!!!" I myself saw some humor in that statement, since we have over the last month purchased 4 orchids that will be dead inside of 6 months. At any rate I would guess there are some doozies out there; what is the worst purchase you have ever made?
