- So what you got is an old ski with new topskin. Of course, while the ski
- was actually new, it looked old since it had scratched plastic film glued on.
- If you waited couple years more before removing the plastic, you could
- actually discard these skis with absolutely intact topskin ! :-)

- Just like them horrible deodorant thingies car washes always reward you
- with- absoutely free, as a friendly jesture.
- Free ? Gimme a bundle, for the office ...
-
- Or those wonderful young ladies in department stores who try to spray me
- all over with some evil-smelling new cologne : its free, heck, why not,
- bathe me in it, baby ...
-
- Or supermarket tasting of a new kind of Beef Jerky dipped in chocolate:
- free, lets stuff ourselves ...
-
- What else is there ? Bulgarian suits, buy one for $109, second is free.
- Lets get a few.

-
- Happy New Year,
