    Listen closely, smoothbrain. A person can only die once. The merchant treats dying like a bad habit or a glitch the guy only started doing after he was bought to avoid giving a refund.

  • This has to be the oldest joke on the site. According to Google:

    This joke comes from the Philogelos, which is an ancient Greek book of funny stories from the fourth century. People wrote this joke about 1,600 years ago. It makes fun of dishonest merchants who refuse to take blame for a bad product. The dealer acts like dying is a new habit that the buyer caused.
