Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 10, 2024

When my wife and I were on our honeymoon in Hawaii (about a decade ago), we stopped into an establishment with a splendid view of Waikiki Beach. About 10 feet inside the front door was a table selling time shares. About 40 feet farther in was a table selling you ways of getting out of them.

That’s Noah’s arc, but that’s not Noah at the rudder.

The death boat, Charon is making another run…….

Charon has only so many positions available on his boat – yes, should have looked at the fine print. Bon voyage, nevertheless.

I wonder what they get for Styx riverfront condo’s. I hope there’s not an HOA, that would be hell.

Or…Don’t worry, it’s just that silly Willy Wonka.

The first page giveth and the fine print taketh away…

Looks about right…

It’s important to read the terms of any service. A couple was severely injured riding in an Uber, when the Uber driver recklessly drove through a red light, causing a bad accident. But they can’t sue Uber for their massive medical bills, because Uber’s terms of service says that you can’t sue them… you agree to “arbitration” for any damages.

A timeshare in Hades is still called a timeshare.

You need a new travel agent.

Ages ago, my first wife and I accepted an offer for a free motel room in Orlando Florida for several days. We wanted to go to Disney Land (or Disney World, whatever it’s called) for our honeymoon. When we arrived, it was a presentation for a time share. The sales person was very nice. When we explained our honeymoon plans, he just smiled, wished us well, and left us alone.

Do people still fall for the time share scam?

This looks like a " one way " trip ?

The worst thing is they paid for return airfare.

Wiley posted something late yesterday guys! I’m sure it’ll get posted again today, but in the meantime check out “Cartoonists for Kamala” Fun-draiser below the comments :)

I’ll bet that Styx in her craw.

That’s like voting for Buttercup without bothering to study his record.

If you are handling a relative’s estate, it is a hellish experience trying to get loose from a timeshare and/or annuity if there is a surviving spouse. Delay, delay, delay!

Be sure to pay the Ferryman…

And when the rain came down

He heard a wild dog howl

There were voices in the night, (“Don’t do it”)

Voices out of sight, (“Don’t do it”)

Too many men have failed before

“Whatever you do

Don’t pay the ferryman

Don’t even fix a price

Don’t pay the ferryman

Until he gets you to the other side”

In the rolling mist then he gets on board

Now there’ll be no turning back

Beware that hooded old man at the rudder

Wow, that place is really out in the styx…

“It looked better in the thumbnails…”

Those time-share contracts may as well have been designed by the devil.

Remember to keep your hands in the boat at all times during the ride.

Next time you both read the terms of agreement.

Those are Lemmings in the boat,and they smell bad….

My husband and his first wife bought a timeshare. He got it in the divorce. The contract allowed us to use it every other year. At first, the maintenance fees were reasonable, but every year they went up. They started around $600/year and ended up around $1700/year. My husband was the only one on the title. When he passed away in 2021, I sent the death certificate to Westgate Resorts to let them know he had passed and to “give back the property.”

I was still monitoring my husband’s email and got one from them. They wanted $150 to remove his name from the title and a signed letter from the surviving owner requesting his name be removed. OR $400 to remove his name and ADD someone to the title/transfer to a family member. Since he was the only one on the deed, I never responded or heard back from them. He had tried to get out of the timeshare many times before. Only in death was he able to get out.

TL/DR Don’t buy a timeshare.

No one does, that’s why they’re so hard to get out of.

Styx and stones…….

abandon hope, all ye that signed up for one of these!

Gee you mean there are things on my phone that aren’t real and aren’t true??? Im shocked, shocked I tell you to find gambling in this establishment !!! ;-0

A vacation from life.

The boat is filling up. Must’ve been one heck of a timeshare salesman.

Every vacation has a couple of Styx in the mud…

Oh, he read it … just not fully. He thought the place was “in the sticks”, not “on the River Styx”.
