Some things are unavoidable.

Paying taxes is one of those things.

Death is another, apparently.

I propose we add a third “requirement”, punishable by taxes and/or death.  Every american must actively update their Amazon Wishlists.

We buy crap for people.

We like getting crap from people.

The process of communicating to others what you already have and what you currently desire is ridiculous.  There is all these unwritten political correctness loaded into the questions about what you want.

You can’t tell your rich uncle you really want his 2009 Lexus that he’s in a hurry to offload before the year turns 2010, even though it is the truth.

With completed wishlist, who knows what generous miracle of a gift you might end up with.

I hate guessing.  Maybe if I gave out mouse pads that said “Update your Amazon Wishlist or your getting a mousepad next year”, people would help me, help them.

Also, I hereby claim copyright on that idea, Amazon.com, contact me for through the comments for information on where to send royalty checks.  Thanks.
