- One could simply say that it is for a costume. Goodwill takes out ads
- (at least here in Austin whenever halloween approaches) that explicitly
- suggest the store as a good source of CD costumes, so it would seem
- they are mellow about the concept.
-
- Depending on your semantics of the word "costume", this explanation
- has the advantage of being true, and is in any case probably more plausible
- than that you're buying clothes for someone else. (At least I always
- have bad luck picking out clothes for other people, both stylewise
- and fitwise.)
