The Man With One White Slipper

[sylvar]

I just got a bath slipper in the mail. It's a large white bath slipper for my left foot. And it says that they'll send me the matching slipper when I reserve my room at SpringHill Suites.

Now this isn't quite as random as it sounds. I'm a BzzAgent, so I get odd stuff in the mail so I can pimp the swag. And this slipper was attached to a certificate for a free stay, which we'll be using sometime soon to go to EPCOT. (The Lake Buena Vista SpringHill Suites is a "WDW Good Neighbor Hotel" offering a free shuttle to the property.)

But sending 50% of a pair of slippers? That was a new one on me.

They're also offering my readers 25% off, so if you need a hotel in the neighborhood of $63.75-82.50 (after the discount), feel free to take them up on it: http://marriott.com/marriott.mi?page=springhillsuites-trial

(No, I don't get a commission, just the aforementioned swag.)

UPDATE: fixed the prices.

Reminds me of a story I once read about a guy who got a sweet deal on 20,000 pairs of leather shoes from Italy. But he couldn't possibly afford the import taxes, so how could he sell them at a profit in America? His solution was to import 20,000 left shoes with a declared value of $0 -- after all, what possible value could there possibly be for 20,000 left-foot shoes? And once that shipment cleared Customs, he sent over another shipment with a declared value of $0 -- after all, what possible value could there possibly be for 20,000 right-foot shoes?
