Bob, the car salesman: So, what do you think of the car?
Me, “coolly” parrying the coming hard sell: Oh, I like it a lot but I’m in no hurry. I’ve got a least another week before I have to decide.
Bob: Well, I’m not sure I do. I’m 75 years old and as I tell my wife, ‘Don’t buy any green bananas!’
We shared a big laugh and I could only shake my head. I didn’t buy a car from Bob, but I did buy the one I wanted.
Carpe diem.
