Da Chairs

A local furniture store in Chicago offered to reimburse everyone who bought furniture over the Labor Day weekend if the Bears shut out Green Bay in the first week.
Brett Favre played like he just bought a new dinette set.
Now the store will have to give back about $275,000 worth of purchases.
Luckily he bought insurance from a company that specializes in stuff like this.
The store owner came up with the idea for the promotion after hearing Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher boast that the team would have the No. 1 defense in the league this year.
The gamble paid off for the store which increased sales by 30% that weekend and is now getting tons of free publicity.
The only people who got screwed were the Packers and the insurance company.
