You can't fool me, John Haugh.  I've seen you in your $1,000 suit, at the head
of a line of stressed out consumers and the obligatory screaming children.  You
flap your patrician gums with the seventeen year old checkout clerk for a half
an hour, discussing the interest rate on your seven hundred charge cards (Bank
of Bratislava offers 2 percent centennial interest, *and* the bank president's
family will fly over and paint your house upon request) with some authority....
Then you buy a pencil.

P.S.  Happy New Year, all, regardless of what you're wearing!  :-)
