The Magic Box Of Gold!
Wherein The Gord shares even more gold.
So the Gord decided to go with the idea put forth to him that he should liquidate all his crap PlayStation games that haven’t sold in a while by putting them in a grab bin, as “grab bins are cool.”
So Gord instead created a “Magic Box” full of $10 games. Just like a grab bin, only magical! (You can watch the games disappear! -ed)
Customer sees magic box, looks through it, walks away to used game section that is across the store. Customer grabs Xenogears (priced at $50), walks back to magic box, looks in it again, and then walks up to front counter.
“I’d like to buy this please.”
“Very well then, that’ll be $57 with tax.”
“But everything in the grab bin there was $10. I got this from that bin.”
“It doesn’t count if you put the game in there in the first place.”
<dramatic pause>
“No I didn’t.”
“Yes you did. I saw you.”
“I would never!”
“You just did.”
“No I didn’t.”
“Why would I put one of the most expensive and rare used games for the PlayStation in a stack of crap commons on sale for $10?”
“Uhm…”
“So, your answer is that you think I am retarded? I’m sorry. One of us has to go. Care to guess who?”
