- We purchased some Discovery toys, the marble tracks, at our state fair last
- year. After dumping about $30.00 (u.s.) on the toys, my wife asked if we could
- have a catalog. "Sure," the discovery toys hawker said, "that'll be four
- dollars." My wife shot a look at the hawker that, if looks could kill,
- convinced the hawker to give us the catalog for free.
