Who did it pay?  You've still got some money in your pocket and can be "proud"
that you've ripped off the big company, or did you?  Quick, everyone run out
and see if you can con some salesman or mechanic.  Certainly you're in the
right as long as you don't get caught.

I'll remember you the next time I try to figure out why things cost so much.
