"Those Spokes cost how much ?!!?"

"Those Spokes cost how much ?!!?" that was the reply from my wife yesterday when I went into the bikeshop to organise the wheelbuild for the powertap.
"Yes Dear, they are $4.50 each. But they are really good spokes!" I could tell I had stuffed up. First never bring your significant other into the shop when your discussing prices (even someone as normally understanding as my wife". And secondly when the damage is done don't try and placate them after the fact....
So what spoke costs $4.50 each? these do,
