Overheard tonight on NPR

Guest: Studies have shown that two-thirds of what people buy, they weren't planning on buying when they walked into the store.

Host: So you're saying, if I go into a store to buy a pair of socks, I'm going to walk out with three things I didn't want?

And I screamed at the radio: "No! No that's not what he was saying! You idiot! That would be 3/4s! Or, if you counted each sock individually, 3/5s!"

And I drove my car into a pole.

What do you think?

Also, if you walked out of the store with those things, didn't you want them?

Ah, as I recall, fella, yoou walk out of a store with more than what you came in with, without paying, and you are in a whole lot of trouble. And about that pole, did you call State Farm?
