I did not have a witty comment to make back in 97 when I began "collecting'. So after many many purchases, I told DH that I was stocking up in case there ever was a shortage. He was & is fine with that, even with the shortage that has caused the prices to rise. So now I just tell folks that this is for whenever I might not be able to go out & hit the Shops. Waiting for one of them to pop off about having the internet to shop from. LOL
