Context
At work, the following conversation was overheard...
Woman: "Did you get that thing for the Christmas tree?"
Man: "No, not yet."
Woman: "Well, go get one, yours isn't long enough!"
--------
Also, here at good ol' Lowe's, there is a Holiday Ideas magazine we sell for $3.95. All well and good, except for the fact that every "idea" in the magazine involves items sold here. It's kinda tacky, yet the neutral observer in me almost has to admire the tactic. Charging 4 bucks for what amounts pretty much to a sunday paper circular glossed over as a legitimate Martha Stewart-esque publication. Brilliant.
