A man enters a store. He only has an empty wallet. Yet he buys an expensive bottle of wine. Can you explain this?

He paid for it via: a) Store credit, b) Bartering his wallet, or c) Giving them his credit card details from memory.

Choice (b) is the expected answer. It also the only answer.

I took "He only has an empty wallet" literally.

Or maybe his bits are small enough to be covered by a regular wallet.. A bottle of wine isn't much for the last piece of your dignity, though. Then again, the bottle probably covers a larger area? Depending on the angle..
