The joys of buying

I had to buy a Microwave last night so I popped in to Futureshop.

I stood in an aisle of microwaves of different models, colours and sizes for a minute or so looking at the assistant who was on the phone, until he saw me and came over to see how he could help.

"I need to buy a Microwave."
"What size do you want?" asked the assistant.
"I don't know. I think the one that we have, which has just broken, is about this size," I said, pointing to one near by.
"Well, why don't you buy that one then?"

Well, thanks for all your insight and guidance Mr Futureshop assistant.
At least its service staff in the iPod and camera sections are excellent.
