A man came into a gun shop and asked to see a shotgun. The
clerk, seeing that the customer was well-dressed and pro-
bably had a well-padded pocketbook, showed him a Belgian
handcrafted mother of pearl inlay weapon and demonstrated
its fine points. A bargain at $12,000.

The customer says, "No, not quite what I need."

Then the clerk brings out an English model and shows off
its fine points. A steal at only $7,500.

The customer says, "No, I don't need anything that fancy."

The clerk, disappointed, shows the customer a Winchester
'over and under' mass production model. Only $299.95.

The customer says, "That will do nicely. After all, it's an
informal wedding."
