Speaking of cost, the guy who shrinkwrapped Yo Ho for me did the job

Of course, he didn't have any overhead. In the past you always promoted
the concept of paying the extra money to the dealer. What happened?





Of course he has overhead, crap-for-brains.

I don't mind paying the dealer for the mechanical expertise and parts
inventory he must carry, but activities such as "detailing" and
shrinkwrapping don't require either, and I see no reason to pay dealer
prices for them.

If you had a boat, you'd understand. But, of course, you don't.
