OK, it's now official: I'm a freak

I actually hate bargains. I feel like I am being manipulated into buying something I would not normally buy. I tend to stay away from them, or from stores who use "bargains" all the time as a marketing device.

Yeah, I know... I'm a freak

Ah...but the real question is, do you light up a cigarette after buying a bargain item? No you don't, therefore free or bargain items do not have the same physiological effect that relations of an intimate nature does.

Or are you just afraid that your bargains won't respect you on the following morning?

Well it is my pleasure. That said, I'm considering the idea of taking the wife out one night, bit of good food, fine wine, little dancing. Now if at the end of it all she gives me a free pen and I feel the night has been worth it for the free pen....I'll retract my previous statement

Spoken like a true scientist!

Be careful to explain things to your wife if you try this though, she may take it the wrong way...

Interesting choice of words too. Aren't most pens retractible? lol.
