Why buy one?
Just put on a hoodie, head down south and, err, "borrow" one for the gig!
:(

Will probably get hammered by the recently AA Rated brethren, but to anyone outside of the US, the phrase 'shooting seniors' implies rounding up the elderly and firing.

I'm sure it's been mentioned here before, but I just got this the other day:
"Your camera sure takes good pictures".

Had a race driver say this to me once. When I replied "Your car certainly knows how to drive itself around the track", he got the point.

So damn true, I really don't like when people with dSLRs ask me that. Had a photographer at a recent gig ask me that, I was left dumbfounded

"100% crop".

I've never understood the need to ever utter those words...

I didn't understand it for a long time, either, but it means a part of the image at 100% resolution, not 100% size, so others can comment on sharpness, etc. Easier to share than a huge full file.
