Please Don't Drop the New TV!

[bookslover]

I saw an article in the Business Section of today's paper about a new flat-screen TV. It's 85 inches, and costs $85,000! It comes with a mechanical stand that raises it from the floor.

I can just see the delivery dudes bringing it in the front door and dropping that sucker on the floor...

Only $1,000 per inch!

I'll take two!

Sam's Club is selling a 72 inch for just under $3,000. For the difference, I'd say it couldn't possibly be worth the additional $82k.

Of course, the cheap one doesn't come with that magic stand.

Can you say "insurance"?

The thread title made me think of the Shawshank Redemption. A criminal is running out of a department store carrying a television when he is confronted by cops. They yell for him to put his hands in the air.

"I can't do that, officers!"
"Why not?!"
"Because then you'll have me on destruction of property, too."

Oh, come on, Wayne! You're making the big bucks! Just go out and get one. I hear it even comes with an excuse to give to your wife!

Short answer: Yeah, right.
