Happy, having just aced the 399 exams, you decide to celebrate by asking your high school sweetheart to marry you.

You rush into 10th Avenue, checkbook in hand, to buy what you will need for the perfect evening. First stop, Van Yperan Jewelers. You choose a modest but pretty diamond and garnet ring. Rob, the jeweler, shines it up and puts it into the box. Recognizing that you will be rushing about, and don't want to lose the ring, you ask if you can leave the ring at the store until you are finished shopping.

Next stop, Michael McBride Menswear. You haven't been able to get to your wash for weeks, what with studying, so you decide to buy a new pair of jeans so you will look decent for the big event. You try the jeans on and the clerk measures the length for hemming them. Explaining you need the jeans within the hour, the clerk promises they will be ready, as she takes your cheque.

Off to the next shop.Flowers - a nice touch. Ford's has some gorgeous roses which will help camouflage the grime of your basement suite. You choose a dozen red roses and hand them to the clerk, asking if she can wrap them in nice paper and you'll be back in half an hour to pick them up. She says she will need to determine if they are long-stemmed or short-stemmed, as the price varies, depending on the type. No problem, just figure it out for the 12 roses you have chosen, you say.

Music. Good music for the occasion. Something different from the Bug House Five.Adagio Music has what appears to be the perfect CD. Nice romantic sounding singersand songs. Being totally unfamiliar with the artists, you ask if you can listen to the CD,and are told that in fact you can take the CD home and play it and bring it back if you don't like it. You explain your situation, and the clerk wishes you all the best and sayshe hopes the disc meets your needs.

Last, is food. Not having time to wash up any dishes, you decide on a delivered meal from the Varsity Grill. You go down to the Grill and place your order, specifying to Bing that you would like the food delivered at 8:00 p.m.

Finished your purchases, and feeling very elated, you go back to pick up the ring, the pants, and the flowers. There are police cars up and down the 4400 block west 10th. Van Yperan has been robbed, through no fault of their own. Your ring, which was at the front counter, is gone, and due to the chaos, they are unable to even discuss with you another ring. You go across the street to get your pants. You try them on, and it looks like you've been caught in a flood. The clerk shortened them 6 inches rather than 6 centimeters. So no new pants. The flowers can't be a problem you think. However, the clerk greets you very sheepishly. She had left the flowers in the vase, and the other clerk on duty had happily made them into a corsage for a wedding that night. Will you ever get married?

You rush home, having told your girlfriend to hurry over after work because you had a great surprise waiting. You put on the CD, and just as she is about to come through the door Julio starts singing "To all the girls I've loved before, who've traveled in and out my door.." Quickly off comes the disc and you decide to take it back on Monday. (you forget to do this and end up having the CD for five days before you take it back)The phone rings. It is the Varsity Grill The cook slipped while carrying your order over to the delivery shelf and your dinner is in shambles. The cook has hurt himself they cannot cook another meal for you. Your evening and future seem in jeopardy. Your only hope is to ruin the surprise by showing your girlfriend your sales bills to prove your good intentions and then impress her with your brilliance by displaying your knowledge of the Sale of Goods Act.
