- Setting:
- Looking at a model home within a new gated community. Besides the doorway stands a suit of armor.
- Me:
- Um, excuse me sir, but why is there a suit of armor in this model home?
- Sales Agent:
- We're trying to give you a feel for the types of houses that we offer in this community.
- Me:
- A feel for the types of houses. Okay. But why a suit of armor?
- Sales Agent:
- We decorate our model homes with contemporary furniture, so you can imagine it as it would look, if it were your own.
- Me:
- Yes, but, a suit of armor?
- Sales Agent:
- Sounding annoyed. It is merely sample furniture to make you feel more at home here.
- Me:
- So are you telling me you have a suit of armor in your home?
- Sales Agent:
- No, of course not. Why would I want that?
- Me:
- Exactly.
- Sales Agent:
- Blinks silently. Do you want to purchase a house here or not?

This post sounds funny, but I don't get it for some reason…

Ah, I should have provided some context, huh?
I was looking at some houses in LA with my uncle. The houses were within a new gated community. Since many were still under construction, the sales agent took us to a model home. In the model home was a suit of armor standing near the doorway. So I had to ask the agent why the heck there was a suit of armor there.

I'd punch you in the mouth if I'm that salesman.

Then I'd jump into the suit of armor and attack you with a two-handed sword +1. hehe
