    The point is, you’re an exception.

    Cororations found out long ago that most people value a couple bucks a month more than they value a 1-3 minute chunk of their time a few times an hour while they’re being entertained.

    Listen, pay me a dollar and I’ll show you a cool mind trick.

    Oh, you dont have/want to spend a dollar? Or you’re skeptical of the trick? Well, you could just listen to me him a tune for a few seconds and then I’ll show you the trick. In fact, you don’t even have to listen, just let me hum a tune in your presence. Just for a few seconds. Then I’ll show the trick anyway.

    Sound better? Cool.

    Hmmm Hmm Hmmmm Hmm

    That wasn’t so bad.

    Ready for the cool trick?

    You already missed it.
