A hardware shop owner is setting up his store before opening and hangs a sign advertising: 1 for 10 cents, 15 for 20 cents and 110 for 30 cents. What is he selling?

Please accept my most humble apologies for falsely accusing you of error. It was when you stated, "In economic theory, this is known as "the law of diminishing returns." ", that made me think that you were applying this 'law' to the specific case of economic theory. How foolish of me not to realise that this could equally have meant that you were referring to alien abductions, a subject which we should probe no further.

As you have proved your superior intellectual capacity beyond any shadow of doubt, may I wish you and the mighty Sly (if I may be so familiar) glad tidings for your speedboat trips. I hope that his medical regime doesn't present you with too stiff a problem.
