I was almost tempted...

 .....but not really.  Earlier today, I heard a TV add that caught my attention,  It wasn't especially loud, but the speaker was so intense and spoke so fast that I had to listen.  Please note here that I usually tune out commercials because I'm concentrating on something else, like getting a snack.  There are a few commercials that I actually mute, but I digress.  As I listened I realized the the spokesman was urging me to buy a limited edition gold plated coin, a copy of what was evidently a very valuable coin many years ago.  The speaker did slip into his spiel that this coin was a copy with no monetary value, but he skimmed over that part pretty quickly.  But I did love his final pitch, you must order right now to "avoid disappointment and future regret."  Wow, that sounds like a heavy load to bear.  I did not order a coin from this limited edition and so far am not experiencing any regret.  I'll let you know if it hits me in the future.
