Is it just me or do the closing statements in any impulse buy always appear in question form?
Car buying, for example; "Okay, so if I upgrade to a hemi engine I’ll have enough torque to tow away my grandma’s 1940 Maytag deep freeze, right?”
"Ohh ya! The hemi will make short work of that old thing.”
"Oh good! I'll go with the hemi then.”
Of course, we already know the answers to such questions before we ask them. Yet, life remains chalk full of these sweet little assurances (and subsequent reassurances). So much so, that when faced with a true “straight-shooter”, we are often taken aback.

I recently underwent some minor surgery to repair a broken nose. At a post-op checkup my E.N.T. specialist says to me, "So, how do ya feel about how everything turned out?”
"Good," I reply. "How do YOU feel about it?" He rubs the bridge of my nose with his forefinger.
"Ahh…I wouldn’t say it’s my best work, but I am fine with it." He answers with such honesty and conviction that it’s refreshing. All I can do is respect it.
Not to worry though, I am breathing free and clear. I’m also looking better and better by the day, let me assure you.
