(In a thick Irish accent)
"Because your hard disk is old,
We have to order a special part from USA,
Therefore you will have to wait for the recovery."
"Oh that is OK. But is there an extra charge?"
"That would be about £50 extra."
"Uh, can I not recovery my data then?
Because that is beyond my budget."
"Oh. Wait let me check. "
- 2 minutes later -
"Ok we will charge you £25 for it,
But we cannot go any lower,
As the part actually costs US$75."
*calculates*
"Oh well, ok then."
Memories ought to be luxury goods,
But somehow in my case,
The elasticity for them is so low,
They seem like basic neccessities.
