Important warning!! This could happen to anyone!
This is a really important story and anyone who's travelling should read it and send it to all their friends because it could happen to anyone.
I was in a bar having a few drinks by myself because I was in the big city for a convention and didn't want to just sit in my room but I didn't know anyone when a girl came up to me and she was holding a polyester shirt with a lurid paisley pattern on it and she asked if I could try it on, because she wanted to buy it for her boyfriend but wasn't sure if it would fit him and I looked to be about the same size and then she'd know if she should buy it or not, she was pretty and I was lonely so I said I'd do it so I put on the shirt but it felt kind of damp and made my skin tingle a bit and then everything went blurry and I woke up with a toothbrush up my butt in a bathtub full of ice with a tatoo that said 'Welcome to the world of 911'. So, anyway, I went back to that bar the next night but I never saw her again.
My friend and I had just finished a salad in a Japanese restuarant in Greenwich Village & decided to have a small dessert. Because both of us are such raw fish lovers, we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus Sashimi". It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe and the waitress said with a small frown,"I'm afraid not". "Oh", I said, "I thought you were a piece of string."
"Well", I said, "would you let me buy the recipe?" With a cute smile, she said, "Yes." I asked how much, and she responded, "Only two fifty,it's a great deal!" I said, with approval "Just add it to my tab." Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement from Neiman-Marcus and it was $285.00. I looked again and I remembered I had only spent $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for beer. As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, "Raw Fish Recipe $250.00." That's outrageous! I called Neiman's Accounting Dept.and told them the waitress said it was "two-fifty," which clearly does not mean "two hundred and fifty dollars" by any POSSIBLE interpretation of the phrase. Neiman-Marcus refused to budge. They would not refund my money, because according to them, "What the waitress told you is not our problem. You have already seen the recipe-we absolutely will not refund your money at this point" I explained to her the criminal statutes that govern fraud in Texas, I threatened to refer them to the Better Business Bureau and the State's Attorney General for engaging in fraud. I was basically told, "Do what you want, we don't give a crap,and we're not refunding your money." I waited, thinking of how I could get even, or even try and get any of my money back. I just said, "Okay, you folks got my $250, and now I'm going to make sure that every raw fish lover in the United States with an e-mail account has a $250.00 raw fish recipe from Neiman-Marcus...for free. She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this." I said,"Well you should have thought of that before you ripped me off", and slammed down the phone on her. So, here it is!!! Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think of. I paid $250 dollars for this... I don't want Neiman-Marcus to ever get another penny off of this recipe and if you pass this on Bill Gates will send you $1000 dollars because he's using it to track email software.
