Just got the Alex McCord ramekins and the Alex McCord casserole dishes at Lots-Less for a pittance, I tell you!

It sounds like you know in your gut that he's a liar. It also sounds like he's been so good at gaming you because it's not the first time he's done it. There's a saying: when you see hoof prints on the farm, chances are it's not zebras. Can you see how he's asking you to consistently believe the most far fetched…
