"I'm not going to pay alot for this muffler"

some fragment from a commercial long ago. Funny how the really important things stick with you. Must be some reason why this sentence has been running on a loop in my head all day. New philosophy. A way of saying You must change your life, you are never ready.
I will rally together the citizens of charred cities in some droopy convention center and force them to shout it with me:
I am
NOT
going to pay alot
for this
MUFFLER!

Thankyou. That will be 50 bucks and a handshake, please. Now go home.
