World's best anniversary present

[So, I walk into my local camera store this morning, armed with the name of the famous naturalist and photographer who knows the owner plus a printout showing the prices available at the large mailorder camera store in New York. I want to make a big purchase, I want to do it locally, but I don't want to pay a premium. I'm expecting a conflict. I hate conflict.]

Me: Hi, is [name of owner] here?
Owner: Hi, what can I do for you?
Me: I was sent here by [name of famous photographer]. I'm interested in a Canon 500mm. And believe it or not, my wife is actually encouraging me to buy it.
Employee: Quick, get his money now!
Owner: Well, what kind of price would make you interested?
Me: If I could match the price from [mail order place], I'd be really happy.
Owner: No problem, we'll order it, i'll be here next week
Me: Great!
Owner: Be sure to take your wife out to dinner before the lens comes in!

Dan and I walk across the street to get some coffee. I'm feeling all tingly. And they even had the Kirk quick release plate in stock.

Woo!
