Middle-aged man, who came in running and panting, interrupting a sale in progress: My parents are going into a nursing home and I need to pick up the cheapest mattress you have.
Mattress store employee: Okay, that–
Middle-aged man: I don’t expect them to live longer than a year.
Mattress store employee: Okay, that would be our Regency Plus mattress set for $149.
Middle-aged man: Regency Plus? That doesn’t sound very cheap… I get everything for $149? Do you sell anything smaller that I could, say, carry their body on and fit into the coffin?
