A little background: Neiman-Marcus, if you don\'t know already, is a very 
  expensive store; i.e., they sell your typical $8.00 T-shirt for $50.00. 
                                                                           
  Let\'s let them have it! THIS IS A TRUE STORY!                           
                                                                           
  My daughter and I had just finished a salad at a Neiman-Marcus Cafe in   
  Dallas , and we decided to have a small dessert. Because both of us are 
  such cookie lovers, we decided to try the \'Neiman-Marcus cookie.\' 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, but you can buy The   
  Recipe.\' Well, I asked how much, and she responded; \'Only two fifty –   
  it\'s a great deal!\' I agreed to that, and told her to just add it to my 
  Tab.                                                                     
  Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement, and the Neiman-Marcus   
  Charge was $285.00! I looked again, and I remembered I had only spent   
  $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf.. As I glanced at the 
  bottom of the statement, it said, \' Cookie Recipe-$250.00. \' That was   
  outrageous! I called Neiman\'s Accounting Department and told them the   
  waitress said it was \' two fifty \' , which clearly does not mean  \'two                                                    
  hundred and fifty dollars\' by any reasonable 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 the Accounting Department lady the       
  criminal statutes which govern fraud in the State of Texas. I threatened      
  to report them to the Better Business Bureau and the Texas Attorney     
  General\'s office, for engaging in fraud. I was basically told, \' Do   what    
  you want. Don\'t bother thinking of how you can get even, and don\'t       
  bother trying to get any of your money back.\'                           
  I just said, \'Okay, you folks got my $250, and now I\'m going to have     
  $250 worth of fun.\' I told her that I was going to see to it, that every                                                                     
  Cookie Lover in the United States with an e-mail account, has a $250     
  cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus…for free. She replied, \'I wish you   
  wouldn\'t do this.\' I said, \'Well, perhaps you should have thought of                                                                     
  that before you ripped me off!\' and slammed down the phone.             
                                                                           
  So here it is!                                                           
                                                                           
  Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think     
  of. I paid $250 for this, and I don\'t want Neiman-Marcus to EVER make   
  another penny off of this recipe!
