- Yeah, sure, Trygve, that's all fine and good, but how many single
- people have a lifestyle that lets them spend lots of time at
- garage sales? I would love to be able to shop around for the best
- buy or a they-just-don't-make-'em-like-that-anymore piece of
- furniture, but I barely have time to keep diet Coke in the fridge.
- When I need something, I want the closest and most convenient place
- to buy it, FAST, and I don't particularly care whether it was
- the best buy or not.
-
- So I'll tell you what -- how about if I keep you, and you can
- spend your days furniture-shopping for me? ;-)
