The Sure Thing

"Oh yes sir, without a doubt these are the finest driving gloves on the market today."
"Good that's just what I need; I mean you can't drive a Maserati with just any old driving gloves."
"So true, so true and would you like us personalize your new gloves with an imprint of your auto's license tag number on the back?"
"That's a great idea but I don't actually have the car yet."
"I don't understand sir, you're buying driving gloves for a vehicle you do not have."
"That's because I don't have any money right now, but I just received the winning numbers for tomorrow's lottery from a fortune teller and I just want to be ready for my new car when I win."
"I see, you do realize these gloves cost 1500 dollars, do you have the funds to pay for them?"
"$1500, I don't have that much cash and my credit cards are already maxed out on my new Maserati leather jacket. Do you have a layaway plan here?"
"Sir I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
