St. Bob is on a quest. He wants to buy the shampoo and conditioner they have on Viking cruise lines. He is this close to booking another cruise, just to get their hair products.
Now, as a reasonable person, you might think these items could be for sale online. Not a chance. Oh, sure, some traveler may be trying to sell theirs on ebay, but are those opened? Old? Germy?
He called the
company and spoke to someone in charge of such things, and was told that even
he—the “in charge” guy—couldn’t acquire them.
Like giant diamonds in a hidden vault in a hidden warehouse, it simply
couldn’t be done.
Well, you try
not to tell St. Bob that something can’t be done. He picks up that challenge,
puts it on, and does battle with the impossible dream. And sings it.
Meanwhile, I am
calculating what it would cost, per ounce, to go on another cruise just to get
the shampoo and conditioner. I’m figuring several thousand dollars per
container.
Maybe this is
why some people sell their homes and just cruise for the rest of their lives. They
may not see loved ones for awhile, but their hair looks awesome.
It's not too late-- grab a few copies of my super-inexpensive book, A Little Christmas Prayer to give as gifts.
