Would you like the extended warranty plan with your wireless mouse?

A few weeks ago, the wireless mouse I travel with for my notebook died. Not really sure what happened, but it stopped working despite replacing the battery. Tonight, I finally got around to purchasing a new one. I stopped by the local office supply store to and purchased my $29.99 Microsoft(r) Wireless Notebook Mouse 3000. To my amusement, when the cashier rang up the purchase, he politely asked if I would like to purchase the extended warranty plan with the mouse.

It cost $29.99.

If I would have had my snap, I would have asked how much and it may have made this post a bit more amusing.
