Re: It always makes me wonder...

We were at a family reunion in Arkansas, and "the guys"  made a field trip
to a nearby town to check out the pawnshops.  We spotted a music store, and
stopped in. My brother in law, an R&D engineer for a major computer
company,  our collective five sons and me, all dressed rather casually, Five
of the group were musicians.

Adam asked the clerk about a copy of a Paul McCartney bass.  The guy sez,
"You can't afford it."

I turned to  the guy and said,  "I could pay cash,  but I'm not going to
reward you with a sale."

Three years later, the bass was still in the store.
