   He bought some ties at Daffy's. Marked "Final Sale," they were only $15 each. Originally 1, they were $100 each. Who would pay $100 for a tie, he wondered. He bought five of them. He went home. He showed them to his wife. She didn't like any of them. "But they're worth $100 each," he said. She said, "I don't care if they're worth $1,000 each. They're ugly! I won't go anywhere with you in those ties." He went back to Daffy's. He went to the Returns counter 2. He showed the ties and the receipt 3 to the worker. He said he wanted to exchange the ties. She said, "I'm sorry. No returns, no exchanges." He asked, "What do you mean? I just bought these ties this morning." She said, "Look at this receipt. What does it say at the bottom?" He looked. It said, "No returns or exchanges if Final Sale."
