The knife dug deep into the watermelon, but not deep enough. Trying to cut the watermelon was harder than it looked on television. He should have known better. The stupid commercial told him the knife would cut the the biggest fruit in his home, but it lied. He should have known by now that commercials are just trying to steal your brain so you will give them money. Being in college, and having to pay for his own apartment and schooling, made it so he didn't really have much extra money to spend. This stupid knife was fifty dollars, and it's only one knife! He only earns three hundred dollars a week. It may seem a lot of money to earn, but for a college student, it's not enough. Now he's bought a stupid knife that doesn't even measure up to his expectations, and he can't take it back to the store.
"Now I've learned my lesson." He said out loud.
Whether he knows it, or not, he hasn't really learned his lesson, and he is in for a really bumpy ride of debt. His future wife will work more hours, earn more money, and yet he will manage to bring his whole family into debt. Commercials need to stop advertising kitchen ware. Man needs to find his own necessities on his own account. Commercials don't help.
