Expensive Battery
Published Aug 17, 2003

Six months after purchasing an expensive battery for his car, an angry motorist returned to the shop where he bought it.
"Listen here," the motorist grumbled to the garage owner, "when I purchased that battery you told me it would be the last one my car would ever need. It died after only six months!"
"I'm sorry, sir," apologized the owner. "I didn't think your car would last longer than that."
