I am put in mind of a job I once had when in highschool. A Venture store was soon to be closed (Target type store). They hired ~100 people, one of them was me, to go through the store in one weekend and mark everything up by 40 percent. The ads then touted the "fantastic savings of at least 25 percent". Somehow, I failed to take advantage of these savings.

Being a cynic is a survival trait.
