And Now A Word From Our Sponsor #19

by

"Hey, friends. Will Conya here, manager of the Bait-And-Switch Market. Seen our advertisement in the Sunday paper offering prime rib at 49¢ a pound? Well, we're fresh outta that but we have prime emu meat that's every bit as good and only slightly more at $3.68 an ounce.

"That 4k LED Smart TV? Well, they didn't come in on the truck, but we have a 13" black-and-white television set you'll love, and only costs a smidgen more than the smart TV.

"Take a ride down to Bait-And-Switch Market and get taken for a ride!"

    Nice one, Christopher. Very recently I was seduced by a weekend special loss-leader only to find my local two stores clean out of the half price Barolo within minutes of opening. I'd driven miles as so I complained online and at least they sent me a voucher for a fiver, but by then the restocked wine was full price, of course. I went without.

    Thanks, Neville. Stores here pull that stuff all the time.

    Thanks, Drew.
