They come by threes

We bought a car yesterday.  In the office of the salesperson there was a faded life-size standing poster of John Wayne.  On the wall behind the guy was Billy the Big Mouth Bass.  I looked outside at our soon to be car to see some people getting off a bus.  One of the men was wearing Mantyhose.  It was like a trifecta of weirdness:  definitely the place to buy a car.   

I thought about taking a picture for you, but I was afraid it would harm our negotiating position:
"Um, can I take a picture of your office?"
"Why?"
"I... um... I want to save this moment for posterity."
