So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish
(I am having a rather large yard sale and am running around setting stuff up and trying to answer questions. An older woman flags me down, who is looking at a small “as-seen-on-TV,” easy-clean fish tank.)
Woman: “Hey, excuse me!”
Me: “Yes, how can I help you?”
Woman: “Does this tank include the fish?”
(I look down at the completely waterless fish tank sitting on the table with the few parts for it inside.)
Me: “Uh… no, but all the parts are there.”
Woman: “Okay, thanks… I was going to get it for my grandson, but it’s useless without the fish.”
(I had no problem selling it, even though the fish were not included.)
