"I'd like to upgrade my
Siamese to an Abyssinian." |
| Clerk: |
"Do you want a red or a
tan Abby?" |
| Bart: |
"I dunno. Is there a difference
besides the color?" |
| Clerk: |
"Well, the red one is faster,
but costs quite a bit more. Personally, I don't think it's worth it. The
price/performance isn't as good as the tan one." |
| Bart: |
"Do you think I need that
extra speed?" |
| Clerk: |
"Depends on what you're
getting it for. Any big dogs near your house?" |
| Bart: |
"Yes." |
| Clerk: |
"Well then, you'd better
go ahead and get the red one. Unless you want to save money and get the
tan. The tan
is upgradable to the red later. We offer our "Red Dye
Overdrive Kit" for $100. Seventy percent increase in performance." |
| Bart: |
"Let's go with a tan one." |
| Clerk: |
"Ok. That's gonna run you
$400. What size litter box do you have?" |
| Bart: |
"10x12 inches." |
| Clerk: |
"You're gonna have to replace
it with a bigger one." |
| Bart: |
"Why?" |
| Clerk: |
"A Siamese litterbox won't
handle the demands of an Abby. You need at least a 14x16." |
| Bart: |
"Okay, how much is that
gonna cost?" |
| Clerk: |
"$20. You're also gonna
need a second water bowl." |
| Bart: |
"I am?" |
| Clerk: |
"An Abby tends to run hotter
than a Siamese. A second water bowl will keep the cat from overheating:
$10." |
| Bart: |
"I'll take it." |
| Clerk: |
"You weren't planning on
putting that Abby in the same carrier as the Siamese, were you?" |
| Bart: |
"Uh...yeah. |
| Clerk: |
"Not a good idea. The Abby
might not fit, and even if it does you'd probably want a bigger carrier
for better air circulation." |
| Bart: |
(sigh)"How much?" |
| Clerk: |
"$100." |
| Bart: |
"Okay. Boy, I'm almost buying
a whole new cat setup." |
| Clerk: |
"Well, you can still use
the same brushes, shampoo and cat toys." |
| Bart: |
"True. So, what do I do
with the Siamese?" |
| Clerk: |
"We don't take trade-ins.
Maybe you can sell it." |
