Infiniti of Lexington confounded at least one potential customer when a salesperson told Tom Holcomb that “I’m not sure I can get you that price, we only have a few of those left of the lot.” The perplexed Holcomb sat in the sales office, trying to wrap his mind around the concept of a finite number of Infinities and eventually asked that a manager please step in for assistance.
“I mean how can he only have a few left?” Holcomb asked. “The manager came in and said they had a few others in stock but they were only in gray, not black. But how can anything at Inifiniti ever be out of stock, better yet, how can you even take inventory of Inifinities? When I started asking the manager these questions he went from having an answer to being sucked right down into this, ironically, endless and boundary free thought experiment.”
Eventually, the dealership’s resident mathematician and landscaper Mo Degrasse Tyson stepped in. “The landscaper came in, he was wearing a vest for some reason, and he explained that many of these Infiniti Q80’s I was trying to buy aren’t cars that can be measured and produced, but they’re merely concept cars for us to think about.”
“The salesman said ‘An almost infinitesimally small particle, a subatomic spec transformed into the big bang. Which, conversely, redefined infinity into boundless space. And if you think of the universe in this way, then you understand what a marvel it is, that in this moment on this day, we’re getting you into this car at this price. Mathematically speaking, it’s nothing short of a miracle.’ Well, I knew right then, I didn’t have time to ask my wife first, I just signed the dotted line.”
A spokesperson for Inifniti of Lexington, Rene Descarsales, said “we try to make it simple at Infiniti of Lexington, but you try explaining the theory of a boundless string of multiverses to someone who refers to Lexington as ‘the big city.'”
