Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for April 16, 2000
Transcript:
Cathy: Aack. $400 for last spring's "timeless classic" jacket. Out of style before the first bill came.$350 for excruciating boots that I bought too small because the tiny size made my feet look cuter. $220 for a blouse bought on a frappuccino rush. Felt too guilty to ever wear it. $320 for stretch satin holiday pants. Looked fabulous for six minutes in the dressing room. Haven't been zipped up since. $180 for last summer's "goes with anything" sweater that looks terrible with everything I own...$130 for a pasta maker that made pasta once...$340 for a thigh machine that's shoved in a closet. $20 for a bottle of shampoo that gave me a 48-hour "herbal fragrance" headache the only time I tried it...$18 for lipstick that I rejected before I even got out of the mall parking deck...why!...why!...why?...Saleswoman: Right on schedule...April 16 and the 1999 returns are pouring in. Cathy: Take it back! Take it all back! I hardly touched any of it!! I need the money to pay my taxes!
