Overnight Shipping Costs = Arm and Leg maybe First Born

"They won't ship it (the computer) overnight. They could buy a whole new computer with the money that it takes just to ship overnight"

Obviously I find this quote very amusing. The funnier thing is that the person did not realize that I had just captured the words on paper. Words that everyone who had ever needed to ship something or waited for a shipment understands.

I'm all for free capitalism. However, does it really need to cost an arm and a leg just to ship something over night? Or same day air? I mean jeez! Sometimes it's even more than what the darn product is worth. Too funny and annoying at the same time.
