I know the feeling.  I was in Checker last week for a news battery for 
the van.  I asked the FLAPG for a 10mm for the post clamp.  When he 
couldn't find one he asked someone else what size they thought it was and 
when they said a 12, tried to foist it off on me.


It'd be nice if some people had some kids that lived...
