More, actually: they're so sure that I won't need it that they'll sell
it to me cheap.

Wouldn't you trust an appliance more if a lifetime warranty were
cheap?

Of course, if what they find is that people quit not because they get
married but because they get disgusted, this reasoning doesn't apply.

For some reason (consumer protection laws, I think) there don't seem
to be many of those services in New York.
