Customer: “I need your assistance with these lights here. Do I just plug these into the dirt?”

Me: “They’re solar-powered, so you stick them into your lawn and they’ll charge during the day so they can shine during the evening. Right now they’re on clearance for $14.98.”

Customer: “How many batteries will I have to buy? I always get things like this on sale and then you trick me because I have to buy batteries.”

Me: “They’re solar-powered.”

Customer: “I just want to know how many batteries I need.”

Me: “Well, these particular lights only need one battery. It’s big and yellow and floats in the sky. It’s called the Sun.”

Customer: “Never mind, then. That sounds awfully expensive.”
