Okay, I want a box full of colors for my lips/eyes/nails/etc. You want to play World of Warcraft all weekend? I want to change my nail color five times in one day. How many different beers can you possibly want to try? I get that many eyeliners. No, they are *not* all the same color. This one is periwinkle, this one is navy, this one is cobalt, this one is cobalt with glitter, and this one is cobalt with shimmer. Fine, one eyeliner, and you get to pick it? One beer, and *I* get to pick it. Budweiser still makes Chelada, right? (Note: This one only works if you are dealing with a beer snob.) (Yes, I run with beer-obsessive nerds.)
(This can sometimes backfire, though. My sister-in-law announced she wanted another tattoo and that she would take the money out of the fund for their their new/second car. My brother's reply? At first, it was an instant no because he loves to sock money away, but then he realized she was talking about the *car* fund, and he is actively against getting a new/second car, so he was all for her spending that money on a new tattoo so they would go just that much longer without a new/second car.)
