One of my favorite movie moments was when Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) in Meet the Parents is on the phone with the airline people after his suitcase was lost and they brought him the wrong suitcase. He said:
Yeah, you gave me the wrong suitcase. Uh-huh. Yes, it's a black Samsonite. Uh-huh. Ok, well don't you think that the Samsonite people, in some crazy scheme in order to make a profit, MADE MORE THAN ONE BLACK SUITCASE?
Its not massivley profound, but its true, the Samsonite people and almost every other company for that matter follow a simple rule, whether its writen in their business strategy or not, its more universal really: sell as much as you can in order to make as much profit as possible (so in a round about way you can blame our voracity for all those luggage mix ups).
