Goat says, "Because companies know that most people won't apply for the rebate." Rat says, "Why not?" Goat says, "Either because they don't know how or just never get around to it."

Goat says, "I give up." Pig says, "Now then, what's a re-batty?" Rat says, "I have to hit you with this repeatedy." Pig says, "Nuts... and all I wanted was a printer."
