Bud and sally sellers
closed the door on the last of their
departing guests. "I'm so sorry I mis
led you in my bidding," Sally turned
to Bud. "But I did want to try that
new system."
"It's all over now," Bud said, "forget
it. But let it be a lesson. Why in the
dickens do you keep floating around
from one system to an
other? Get the one you
like best and stick to it.
"It's the same thing I
was telling you about
Their fair guoati were departing
-your coffee. You know
Hills Bros, is the best
you ever tasted. But you
try to save a penny or so
-and neither of us likes
the coffees you buy. So
you float around from one to another,
and we never know where we stand.
Keep it up long enough, and you'll spoil
our taste for good coffee. Let's have a
new deal, and get back to Hills Bros."
