It's only money

Just got a call from some sort of marketing company that had a great offer that the guy was certain I could not pass up.  This marketing company helps businesses like mine take their clients to various sporting events such as the Final Four, The Masters, the Super Bowl and the World Series.  We could take our special clients and let them attend the events, meet the players, take photos and get autographs.  He had a special offer for next year's Masters tournament.  We would have unlimited access to Augusta National for the entire tournament, including the practice rounds and par-3 tournament that is held before the Masters.  Unlimited access to a hospitality tent about a block away from the country club.  The offer includes the use of a four bedroom executive mansion for the entire week before the Masters and during the tournament weekend.  If we need more space, hotel accommodations can be made at nearby hotels.  The cost of this special deal is only $28,400 with 25% down today.  Can he sign me up? 

Um, no.  I'll pass. 

Why not, sir? 

It is out of my price range. 

What kind of client entertainment do you do? 

Nothing like that.  A joke and a stale cola is about all we have to offer. 

Thank you for your time, sir. 

Um, yeah.

Haha! Did you say that to him?

Wait... I don't really have to ask, do I?
