Reasons Sam's Club is better than our apartment:

*Its at least 30 degrees cooler
*They have way more food
*The couches are more comfortable
*Sometimes its cleaner
*Its a little bit bigger
*There is a chef on Saturdays
*I'm sure it has the internet
*Trampoline (even though its on the wall, I think it would be fun.)
*Multiple big screen TVs for Linwood
*A blood pressure checker
*Lots of parking
If only Sam's Club had windows, then I would definitely move in.
