Figure 1: Villages couple here seen breaking ground for a new COSTCO
Satirical News Service
The Villages, FL
In a historic move, two Villagers have made a deal
with COSTCO to purchase their land and build a COSTCO in place of the
house they'd planned. Although they had been planning on building their “dream house on the lake” for more than
two years, when COSTCO announced they were
finally considering opening a store in the Villages, they offered to swap
their land (which had already been staked out to lay the foundation) for some
unspecific land somewhere else.
“Yes”, said the
couple, “it may mean delaying this
project for another couple of years or more, but there will always be other
lakes in Florida to build on. But who could pass up the chance to buy $5.00
roast chickens and giant flat-screen TV’s nearby. It’s a win-win”.
