Oscar drove his brand new Mercedes to his favorite sporting goods
store. He parked it outside and went in to do a little perusing with Jan,
his regular sales woman. Jan was a pretty blonde, and as Oscar walked
into the store, she happily greeted him. But he requested to look around
alone today before he needed her help. She obliged him and let him do
his thing.

Five minutes later, Jan came running up to him yelling, "Oscar! Oscar!
I just saw someone drive off with your new Mercedes!"

"Dear God! Did you try to stop him?"

"No," she said, "I did better than that! I got the license plate
number!"
