I had just about decided to buy the Tv set whose attributes the yaoung salesman had been extolling. He cocluded by saying it carried only a one-year guarantee but that I could byu a five-year guarantee ant an additional cost. I won't byu anything that doesn't carry a five-year guarantee and so turn to leave .The salesman asked me to please stay while he consulted with his boss. "By the way,'he continued ,"may I ask how old you are?"
"Eighty-two," I rplied.
He returned a moment later smiling ." We'll give you a lifetime guarantee!!!!!!!"
