One evening, Fred and Myra Dorsey, business owners, are expecting visitors at their home. Fred says "What time are they coming, Myra?" She says "Around 9 o'clock". Fred says "Uh, it's near that now". Myra says "Sit down will you, Fred? Relax, you're getting me nervous. What are you worried about?" Fred says "Myra, maybe we better call this off". Myra says "Oh don't be silly". Fred says "It's not too late. We could ...." Myra says "No, we made a decision, Fred. When you make a decision it's better to carry it through". Fred says "We might regret it later". Myra says "And we might regret it if we back out". Fred says "I don't think so". Myra says "I do. That's life, a series of regrets for something you did or something you failed to do. Personally, I'd rather regret an act than an omission. I don't like ...." Fred says "Oh, for Heaven's sake ...." Just then, the doorbell rings. Myra says "Here they are now. I'll get it". She opens the door and the man there says "Mrs. Dorsey?" She says "Come in, Mr. Marmon". He says "This is my partner, Lou Gairn". Myra says "How do you do, gentlemen? This is my husband, Mr. Dorsey". Fred says "Hello. Let's all sit down". Myra says "Well, I guess we better get right down to business. How much, Mr. Marmon?" He says "Well, uh me and Lou talked it over for a long time. We figured it from all the angles. This one's not such an easy job. It's risky". Myra asks "How much, Mr. Marmon?" He says "For a job like this we figured uh, two grand". Fred says "Two grand?" Myra says "That's rather high, don't you think, Mr. Marmon?" He says "No, I don't think so". Myra says "So, how did you arrive at your price?" Marmon says "Well like I said, we figured it from all the angles, such as the insurance you'll get from the place. Two grand's only a small part of it. Now, we work on the percentage idea. Fair trade practice and all that". Myra asks "What makes you think we're doing it for the insurance?" Marmon says "Look, Mrs. Dorsey, I wasn't born yesterday. What other reason do people have for burning down their own business?"
