It isn't always price

The door-to-door salesman just stared at me. And he was so pissed.

"But, you can get all seven days of the Tampa Tribune for the same price you pay now just for the Sunday edition."

"I get it," I said. "But it isn't worth the hassle. The other six editions will go straight from the driveway to the garbage."

"But it's the same price," he said again, equally baffled and angered at this point.

"Sorry," I replied. Save the trees. I read Tampabay.com the other days. Sundays are good for the Trib and its inserts."

He stomped off.

Sometimes you have to realize that buggy whips have no value at any price.
