"IT'S ONLY"

There are two words that are getting on my nerves IT’S ONLY. I am sick and tired of advertisers trying to sell me some over priced piece of something and telling me that it’s only this or that much in price. It’s only going to be sold for some period of time. I bet you if they don’t sell enough all of a sudden the sale gets extended!

Why don’t they say this car or whatever will cost you a year or more of your pay, or with our “special” financing package you will NEVER pay it off!

It’s only $13,000.00 dollars! Compared to what?

If you make over $100,000.00 a year maybe $13,000.00 could fall in to the “it’s only” category. But few of us make that kind of money.

Back in the Sixties when a new car cost around $3000.00 you didn’t hear the “it’s only” crap because then they realized that it was about a years pay for a new car.

They should say “it’s only” going to put you in debt over your head for the next five or six years and then they will tell that now “it’s only” worth $300.00 or $400.00 after you have shelled out at least $20,000.00.

I wonder what the people of Hiroshima would think if we said “it’s only” one bomb.
That last sentence sounds a little rough but it drives home how stupid “it’s only” really is to me.

I get mad when people try to get me to think dumb. I do this enough on my own.

If a salesman ever says to me “it’s only” this I will probably turn to him and say Oh what the heck, “it’s only” money!

Have a great day “it’s only” going to be daylight 12 hours!
