While walking around the large Route 70 Lakewood (NJ) flea market with Brenda yesterday, I overheard a woman haggling with the merchant over the price of a very small, like-new, red & white tricycle.
"How much for the trike" ... the woman asked? "$10 bucks" said the merchant. The woman asked, "can you do any better?" The merchant replied, "well, yes; I think I can ... how about $15?" To that, the woman asks; "How is that any better?" ... to which the merchant said; "it IS better for me ... you didn't ask if I could do any worse!"
