Many years ago, when there was a Zayre's store, they
had 3rd brake lights on sale. The 3rd-light had just become
standard and people thought it was clever to retrofit older
cars. I was in Zayre's for something and the man behind
me in line was holding 5 lights, which was the limit per
customer. He was thrilled that he had managed to get there
in time to buy 5 of them; so much so that he started
bubbling over about his good fortune to me. I asked whether
he had 5 cars to put all those lights in. His face dropped.
It clearly had never occurred to him to think whether he
could actually use 5 brake lights.


My Mom used to know (decades ago, when gas was well
under a buck) someone who drove across town to save
ten cents on a bag of potato chips.

I found it was cheaper to telephone and ask a question
(business line, with per call charges) than to drive
some where to check a price.
