You must be this smart to buy furniture

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

You are a customer shopping at the swamp. Why? A nice office chair on wheels catches your eye and you decide to buy one. Do you:

A). Take one of the tags from the display chair, which has "Take one tag for each item you purchase" clearly printed on it, to the register so somebody can deliver one to your vehicle, or

B). Wheel the display chair through the store, up to the service desk, bark "I wanna buy one of these!" at the service desk people, and walk away?

Why, oh why won't management let me carry around a sock with a tennis ball in it? It's not like I'm asking to carry around a sock with a brick in it.

Strange. I would have gone with:

C). Wheel the display chair up to a register and try to check out.

Ah, but then they have to pay for it. By doing what they did, they are expecting one of the people at the service desk to run after them with a huge novelty check for the amount of the chair as an acknowledgement of the huge effort the CS made by bringing the chair up to the front of the store themselves.

Ya know, I would love to be a fly on the wall when they try to assemble the furniture, if they aren't bright enough to buy it. What amazing contraptions can they create out of the parts normally used to build a chair! Leg where the seat is, the back is stuck under the wheels... you get the picture.

And for customers like that, a holder for a 12 gauge cartridge that will slam its base against a fixed pin when the gas lift cylinder is compressed by someone sitting in it.
