The scoop

So what's the scoop with business chairs? Office chairs are they called? Computer desk chairs? What's the scoop. Why are they priced from 150-1200 dollars? I understand people like to pay for comforts, such as spending 30k on a car with all the features to make life wonderful. But buying a chair, a non-folding chair, a non-5$ chair (that kind of chair that kills your back and makes the quality of life dramatically worse), why must a real chair be the price of fifteen lasagnas? That's half a month's worth of delicious dinners, for a low-quality high-quality chair, enough quality so that you won't get serious back injuries and pains but not the price of one of those luxury sedan chairs. That's half a month's worth of delicious dinners, and a whole month's worth if you need to get two low quality high quality chairs.

I'm just curious, but maybe I should be curious about more things, like why is it "Hum and Haw" here and not "Hem and Haw", as it completely ruined one of my jokes when I saw a sign for custom tailoring at a store here that said "Clothes hemmed while you wait" and I said to Maryl, "they should have said, 'clothes hemmed while you haw'", and she just looked at me and said "Hum?" and I said it again thinking she misheard me, but she said, "No, it's Hum", but I'm almost sure it's Hem. Maybe I should worry about that, and other things, like if I had a time machine, would I go back in time to invest in magic the gathering cards? Really think about that.
