Just How Valuable is a TV Remote?

"Cash, cheque or charge?" I asked after folding the items the woman wished to purchase. 

As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.  "Do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked. 

"No," she replied. 

"But my husband refused to come shopping with me, so I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him."
