Ho Lee Fu... (and the price of fish)
G'day Folks,
This thread is dedicated to a little known born again capitalist called Ho Lee Fu... who probably escaped via Laos in the 1970s to the free world to start a convenience store mentality that makes you feel you've just been catapulted 20 years forwards in time when you see the price on the sticker. Example => I've just been to the local motor factors to get a bit of reasonably priced brake pipe - I saw 5 litres of Castrol GTX engine oil for sale for 130 euros. Including sales tax that's a cool 157.30 euros which at today's exchange rate comes in at $214.65 (USD). Well that made me whistle and say "Ho Lee Fu..." I can buy the same on line for 25 euros including tax. What's made you utter (or nearly utter) similar words recently?
