It seems like stupidity is rampant everywhere today. My latest exposure was at Sears. I had gone to buy, at long last, fire extinguishers for the house. It turns out that Sears had only one left, and none in stock. I asked them if they could order more. They agreed. However, they felt I should pay in advance for the number of fire extinguishers they would order. Why, I asked, wouldn't you need them in stock anyway. Yes, the agreed, but that was an item they wouldn't order without a customer's request. So apparently they were out of a valuable safety commodity: fire extinguishers. But they would not order more until a customer requested one or more and paid in advance. Is there something I'm not getting here?

I don't get it.
