I had just about decided to buy the television set whose
attributes the young salesman had been extolling.
He concluded by saying it carried only a one-year warranty
but that I could buy a five-year warranty at an additional cost.
I won't buy anything that doesn't carry a five-year warranty
and so turned to leave.
The salesman asked me to please stay while he consulted with
his boss. "By the way," he continued, "may I ask your age?"
"Eighty-three," I replied.
He returned a moment later smiling.
"We'll give you a lifetime warranty."
