It will pay for itself!

Working from home is great. On a conference call with a senior executive at a major company. Furious knocking at the door. I hit mute: "yes Finn"? He holds up a credit card entry screen at a website he has pulled up on an iPad, requesting that I complete his purchase. He has found a 1965 Aliss Chalmers front loader at an online dealership, for only $7,900, and was attempting to complete the purchase...as a birthday gift...for my father. "Finn, how are we supposed to pay for this?" [in his best 50 year old man voice] "uhhhh, well, when papa and I get this it will pay for itself in a month!"
