I remember eagerly awaiting the arrival of the first CD player in town, or at least the first one available to me. It had showed up in the latest Sears catalog, so I was annoying the guys in the electronics department there periodically.

Finally the day came when the CD player was sitting there. "Well, can you turn it on?" I said. "No."

"Huh???"

"They sent us the player, but it was a mistake. It was supposed to be shipped to the store in Greensboro. They figure we'll never be able to sell something like a CD player in a town this size."

"OK, but can't you turn it on anyway?"

"Well, they sent us the player, but they didn't send any discs."
