The pair of them were passing the time as they waited for the insurance assessor to arrive. Eventually, the store owner turned to the police officer and said:

“You know, it’s bad, but it’s not as bad as it could have been if he’d robbed me yesterday.”

“Why is that?” the detective asked curiously. The entire store was cleaned out, how could it have been worse if it happened another day? thought the police officer.

The shop owner shrugged and responded:

“Because today everything was 50% off.”
