The Polaroid Camera
At one store in Hawaii the lady was so nice. I wanted to buy a Polaroid
camera. It cost ten dollars. But the saleslady said, "Don't buy it
unless you can get film for it. We are all out of film, but you can
look around. If you find the film, then come back and buy the camera."
Ashrita went to four or five stores, but he couldn't get any film. He came back and told me. The lady said, "I told you! What is the use of buying a camera if you can't get film?" If it had been somewhere else, they would have said, "Buy the camera here and then look for film somewhere else."
