    If you got a poke from your fiancée in that tent, you own it.

    So a LEO pulls you over for doing 60 MPH in a 30. He gives you a break and just gives you a warning instead of writing you a speeding ticket.
    But since you have such high moral standards you argue that you were wrong and should get the speeding ticket, the fine and the surcharge by your insurance company that goes with it.
    ............., of course you do!

    I'm Your Mailman (aka "The Mailman Song")
    Tune - Bye, Bye Blackbird

    Make you happy, make you gay,
    That's why I come twice a day
    I'm your mailman.

    Knock your knockers, ring your bell,
    Gee I really think you're swell,
    I'm your mailman.

    I can come in any kind of weather,
    That's because me bag is made of leather.
    I don't need no keys or locks,
    I can slip in your box,
    I'm your mailman.

    When I'm walking down the road
    Gee, I'd like to drop me load
    I'm your mailman.

    When I'm walking down the lane
    Each one says please come again
    I'm your mailman.

    Each one says she wants me to deliver
    Each one wants as much as I can give her.
    So if you're feeling sad and blue
    I've got something good for you
    I'm your mailman.

    Google Larry Pierce songs. I think you'll enjoy them. Have a great day!
    Appreciate the humor. Life's too short to sweat the small stuff! :thumbsup:

    John Valby has some great parody songs. Been listening to him for 30 years and saw him this January and it was awesome to see him perform live.

    The "moral dilemma" part is easily remedied by doing a private sale on CL or TW. You'll remain an honest broker and someone else will be thrilled with the near-new tent they got and saved a few bucks (but probably not much).

    Nah, haven't even removed it off the truck yet. Been busy with the holiday weekend and work. I can't believe so many people replied to this post. I anticipated 4-6 would answer.

    Just take it back. You and your tent ain’t gonna break REI or save them if you don’t. I promise your $1700 will mean more to you than it does to them.

    That’s just my .02

    You can always do what my dad does, and buy the most top of the line gear, use it once, put it in the damp garage so it gets ate up by mice and dry rots, then offer to sell it to me for the same price you gave for it 9 years later.

    I guess you could always buy it and give it back to him for Christmas.
