If you have to ask, you can't afford it. :-)


Uh oh. We're getting into "explaining the joke" territory here, and
that *never* works out well.

However...financier J.P. Morgan was asked by a reporter how much his
yacht cost to operate. "If you have to ask, you can't afford it," he
replied.

I take the absence of prices being mentioned in an advertisement to
indicate that they're selling stuff that falls into that category.

With the explanation, it may not be funny, but I hope at least you
understand what I was getting at, anyway.
