Someone explain this to me. I go to Walmart to checkout if I can find and
stock at reduced prices (I found a 2161 for 14.97) and I looked
down to the bottom shelf and saw an Areo Tube Hanger without a
price marker under it. I picked it up and scanned it... $88.88! So I did the
only logical thing I could do, I scanned it again... $88.88.

written on the box?!? "Caution: Do not aim at eyes or face" Oh great! There
go my plans. That sucks! But I guess I can to return the eye patch now...
