Fools and Idiots

No furniture for you

We were out shopping for patio furniture at the store where Martha Stewart designer pink tools are replacing Craftsman red ones (ok, not yet, but that sad day is coming). They had a nice 6-seat set in Sunday’s ad and we wanted to see it. Sure enough, it’s sitting there in the store, on sale. And wonder of wonders, it’s actually even comfortable. So we called over the sales clerk and had the following conversation:

“We like this one. Are there any in stock?”
“No”
“Can we order one?”
“No. It’s last year’s model. The computer won’t let us.”
“Can we buy the floor model?”
“No”
“Um … thanks. Bye.”
