WHITE GULLIBON
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who is trusting and impressionable, helpful and caring. Family and friends let you pick up the check when dinning out. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time looking for the new strip mall out on the highway looking to buy either a flower arrangement with anything but tulips for your grandfather or a birthday greeting card for your mother that doesn't look like a greeting card. Be on the lookout for pencil sharpeners with an attitude. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter E, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 834008. Your preferred shopping venue is television shopping channels. Your special symbol is the minus sign (-).
Is this You?
As a White Gullibon, you are extremely trusting but somewhat impressionable, seeing only the good in other people. You tend to be a bit naive in the wily ways of the marketplace and thus are often exploited by others, especially the Reg Aggressorine. Like it or not, you are the poster child for the phrase "let the buyer beware." You are empathetic to the plight of others, often to your own detriment.
This isn't me! What am I?

Planning On SOCIAL SECURITY?This may be the greatest day of my life. The musical group to top all musical groups -- The Strollers -- has just released its latest CD with a song that's certain to be a foot-tapping classical. Of course, you know the song of which I speak -- "Sidewalking." Let's stop into the Musical Sound CD Emporium in the Shady Valley Central Town Sprawling Hills Shopping Mall and fulfill my dreams. Everyone in Shady Valley, however, does not share my joy. As the seventeen year old Emporium clerk, Alicia Hyfield, completes my transaction, she confesses more than a bit of disgruntlement over here just-issued paycheck. A little investigation reveals some displeasure with the size of the FICA deduction. Her disgruntlement isn't lessened to know that this is for the government's social security program that's suppose to provide a source of income in her golden years. She seems more than a bit skeptical of ever seeing any returns. Maybe we can alleviate her concerns (and mine) with a quick run through social security.
