We often got calls from people asking if we had a certain item, if we replied that it was out of stock the customer would get irate and quote our tagline to prove that we were lying.

But your ad says "If it's in stock, we have it!" and we'd reply, yes, but it's not in stock, therefore... (you are probably too stupid to operate the camera anyway)
