...in 1750 BCE, Tilmun copper had been on a long and steady decline, overtaken by Magan competitors.

Trump's fault.

Not sure if Nanni got his money back but I would like to report a modern day case where I got my money back. Two weeks ago we flew to Memphis and the flight was delayed several hours. Avis Customer Service had advised us that their rental counter would be available until 1:30 AM to pick up our reserved auto. We arrived at the counter at 1:20 AM to find the place locked up tight. We took a cab to our hotel and then an uber back to Avis the next day to get the car. After complaining to Avis about their early closing and our extra cost they agreed to rebate back to us our extra transportation costs. Thank you Avis.

Nani was cautioned about dealing with that vendor.
The vendor swindled some cave painters with subpar cave paint that washed off after a heavy dew.
But Nani thought he was a smarter than everyone else

Reading "the world's oldest" anything is a hoot. Because people do not change.

I am still trying to figure out why the "A dog walks into a bar..." joke is funny but I am guessing it is probably a pun.

And court records are great. Everybody was suing over pretty much three things, "Items loaned out and not returned", "Items broken or lost by someone's action or inaction", "You had sex with someone you shouldn't have". Judge Judy in cuneiform.

Technology changes, people stay the same.

I hope your rebate doesn’t come in the form of low quality Tilmun copper ingots.

Somebody should slap some stiff tariffs on that outfit.

For Akkadian, etch 1.

For Spanish, etch 2.

“Presumably, he had already given Ea-nasir the money for an agreed amount of copper”

A mistake he’ll never make again, first giving money to the great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandparent of a Muslim.

Dear Nanni,
Your business is important to us. We're sorry the copper you bought from us did not meet your expectations. Those of us at Ea-nāṣir’s Copper Emporium apologize for any inconvenience about your latest order. However, as the disclaimer on your order form clearly states we do not offer cash refunds. We will be happy to offer you credit on a future order as soon as you return the unsatisfactory ingots. Please be advised, due to supply chain issues we will not have another shipment from the mines for another two years.
We look forward to serving your future needs.
Ea-nāṣir president and marketing manager of Ea-nāṣir’s Copper Emporium

Nanni:
I don’t understand. Do you have my copper ingots?

Babylonian Ingot agent:
We have your reservation, we just ran out of ingots.

Nanni:
But the reservation keeps the ingots here. That’s why you have the reservation.

Agent:
I think I know why we have reservations.

Nanni:
I don’t think you do. You see, you know how to *take* the reservation, you just don’t know how to *hold* the reservation. And that’s really the most important part of the reservation: the holding. Anybody can just take them.
