A call from the antique shop
Got a call from a local antiques store today, said they had just got a bunch of razors in. Being I only work till noon on Wednesday, I stopped in on the way home.
He had 14 razors on the glass case, ready for my arrival.
I got excited when I seen the big coffin boxes, and the possible contents therein. He said he'd take an offer, the prices were just an average he'd looked up on the bay.
So I took the lot, I mean....STOLE.!! for $150.00

No, I expected I'd be going after more cash, after seeing what he had. But I typically carry enough cash for a couple razors, should something like this happen. I was histatic when he accepted the offer, but kept my composure till I was on my way home. Then I was like.

Holy Mother of Hones!
You seem to have wandered into an alternate fantasy dimension and have managed to bring a piece of it back with you.
