Today I went into a local branch of a nationwide photography store to enquire about the absolute lowest price that the store would sell a Canon 60mm f/2.8 USM Macro lens. The dude looks at with a wry smile and says "We only have the one price, what do you want it for?" I looked at him with what must have looked like a wtf wxpression. I should have said 'astronomy'.

Or that you have these spots on your penis that you want to take an upclose photo of for your online doc. Then invite him to be the photographer so you can get a good pull on it.
