> 1/3 of all homes and land are for sale if you just ask. My wife
> thought I had lost it but I wrote down the name on the posted sign
> and looked it up in the phone book.  A woman answered, and when I
> asked for the man she asked why.  I told her that I saw the land and
> thought I would check to see if it might be for sale.  There was a
> long pause and she said The owner was my husband, he died
> yesterday.  I apologized and told her I had no idea but given the
> circumstances I was sorry I called and said goodbye.  She asked if I
> would like to leave my name and I said no, I was out of line and
> would just go away.  She said it was clear I didn't know and go ahead
> and leave my name.  A few weeks later we settled on a price and made
