Oh Wow!!!

I admit it: I watch House Hunters. Not House Hunters International, not Selling New York, just plain House Hunters. The universal comment the prospective buyers utter or exclaim or moan is "Oh, Wow." The view is breathtaking, a beautiful beachfront--Oh, Wow. Or not: looking into the neighbors' bedroom---Oh, Wow. The floors are real wood--Oh, Wow, look at those floorboards. Or there is carpet--Oh, wow, how ugly and/or dirty. Oh, Wow, granite countertops! And for those yucky laminate poser counterops---Oh Wow. Stainless steel appliances rate an enthusiastic Oh, Wow! Any other color is an automatic, Oh, Wow, we're going to have to upgrade. Same thing for double sinks in the master bath as opposed to a mere single sink. Oh, Wow and double Oh, wow. (BTW, who ever coined the term Jack and Jill bathroom--Wow!) Just try it---watch the show and count the number of Oh, Wows, and that's even before the first mortgage payment is due.
