Swag Lamp

Wilma wanted the Larry King Swag Lamp, the last one in the store. Hugo thought it was ugly. Especially the garish yellow liver spot covered shade. Wilma threatened to withhold sex. Hugo weighed that against the $85 tag. He ponted to a Bill O'Reilly end table, on sale for $40. Wilma called him a sexist pig.
Hugo was on a tight budget. His job as laundry lint collector had been downsized after Amazon entered the business and caused outlets to close.
Megan Kelly ash trays were $150--evidently she was the next big thing in TV news. Hugo proposed a deal--the swag lamp for her if she let him get the Anderson Cooper cuff links, seemingly a good investment, unlike the Rachel Madow edible underwear, already on closeout sale.
Both went home happy and a marriage survived another day.
