So, I once knew a Pawn Broker who had five window AC units up for sale. 
He told the brokers to sell them for $100 each, get rid of them quick, 
it's winter.

So, the Barber next door comes over and see the units. Broker says: 
Great time to buy an AC unit! Make me an offer I can't refuse.

$150? SOLD! To the barber in the white coat.
