Family and friends pack a lunch, and a dinner, when they join you for a trip to the shopping mall. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time browsing through a long list of dot com websites trying to buy either a T-shirt commemorating next Thursday or a birthday gift for your uncle. Be on the lookout for a thesaurus filled with typos. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter J, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 258000. Your preferred shopping venue is shopping malls. Your special symbol is the asterisk (*).

Yes, that much cherished profit, the goal of business firms, be they large or small. Upon closer inspection Manny's profit calculation might be suffering from an oversight or two.
