Me: "Hey, this flier says that your dentist's office is having a candy swap tomorrow night! You take your unopened candy in and they'll pay a dollar a pound for it, max up to five pounds. What do you think?"
Eamon: <thoughtfully> "Really? Well, I have been wanting to save up to buy an R2-D2 robot..."
Me: "You realize you woudn't get a whole lot of money for this, right? The most you'll get is $5."
Eamon: "What? But if you get a dollar a piece then..."
Me: "No! You get a dollar per POUND of candy. It takes a lot of candy to make a pound but you could make some money off of this and still have some candy to..."
Eamon: <open-mouthed horrified expression>
Me: "Uhh, I take it you don't want to do this..."
Eamon: <open-mouthed horrified expression>
Me: "Okay, then nevermind."
