Horrors Here's Your Halloween Costume: Miss Charge It Credit Card
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 11:44 AM
Hey, Big Spender!! Welcome the first "Instant Gratification Titanium Card". Includes one large "Bank of Unlimited Shopping USA" pink credit card to be worn strapped to the chest.
Name on the card reads "Lois Price, In debt since 10-31-05". The phrase "Never pay just charge away" is written in black cursive lettering in the middle of the costume.
See, this is funny because women love to shop. OH, BOY, DO THEY! They also aren't able to manage finances, or exhibit any self-control... probably because they're all on their periods. But they sure are pretty though!
