“Yeah, we want muscles like the girls who were here before. Bigger even, you know?” Louis said.
“’Cause, you know, boys ought to be stronger than girls,” Rob explained.
“Naturally,” replied the man. “I know just what you mean,” he added stepping away from the new sign.
"Grand Opening! Special Price!! $1 per unit!" in large letters and "Offer may be withdrawn at any time. Satisfaction not guaranteed" in MUCH smaller print.
“Oh!” Louis said, slightly disappointed. “I thought it was free,” he complained.
“It’s the Grand Opening. It’s still a bargain. And it may not last,” the salesman said, his eyebrows rising and falling with his words. “You won’t find a better deal anywhere. Think about the cost of a health club membership. Or a deluxe multi-gym exercise machine. Or a swimming pool. Nothing but The Big Green Mean Muscle Machine can promise such comprehensive, rapid and painless development. Just look at those well-developed and very beautiful girls. Don’t you think YOU deserve to have muscles like theirs?”
“Or even a little bigger,” Rob suggested.
“Or even much bigger!!” the salesman confirmed.
“OK, but just how much is a ‘unit’?” Rob asked.
“A muscle enhancement unit is a measure of muscle enhancement radiation emitted by The Big Mean Green Muscle Machine. You get one unit for a dollar. But the price WILL go up once the Grand Opening ends,” the salesman replied, speaking quickly.
“But how much muscle will that get us?” Rob persisted.
“Exactly one unit’s worth,” the salesman said.
The noise of the crowd increased as the line grew behind them.
“But how much will I grow? How many inches?” Rob asked again.
“A unit’s a unit. Look, do you want to use it, or not? ‘Cause I got lots of customers out here. You’re wasting my time and costing me money. Who’s next?”
