Okay, here's one for you. Guest comment [specific to our store] submitted about a month ago:why don't you carry snow throwers?
I really really really want to respond to this one, except that if I could I might get the store in trouble =p like, where IN MARYLAND is it snowing right now that s/he needs one so desperately ( Read more... )

1. It doesn't snow in central Florida so snow-throwers are useless. They're really heavy too! :3

2. I'm going to assume for this exercise that you cannot have Negative pigs, as that would mean negative bacon, or in other words tofu (The theoretical culinary opposite of bacon). :3 My theory then, is to manipulate the pens themselves. Specifically place one pen within another.

Label the pens A, B, C, and D. I'll place the following number of pigs in each pen respectively: A=3, B=3, C=4, D=3. Now place Pen D within Pen C. Pen C now can be said to hold an odd number of pigs since the Total number of pigs within it include the pigs of pen D, for a total of 7. Thus now all pens have an odd number of pigs. :)

3. That's easy, lack of accidents and tickets means better rates!

Well, tweak your answer to account for DIFFERENT odd numbers per pen, and there ya go =B

Oh right. Well move 2 pigs from pen A to pen B. Done.
Bacon time!

Now is the perfect time to be buying on, actually. Same with de-icer, ice scrapers, and snow shovels. You can't find any when it snows, because everyone panics and goes out to buy them after or during the storm. Be prepared; get your equipment before the "emergency" hits.

Plus, then tend to be less expensive in the off-season.

We just got them in, actually, and we do tend to stock them well before season. Consider: swimwear sets in January o_O;

"why don't you carry snow throwers?"

Have you tried to *LIFT* one of those bastards? Why don't YOU carry them instead, you lazy jerk!! I don't need a hernia, thank you!
