I had been collecting lunchboxes for some years and had a few that I would carry my lunch in from time to time. One day I was sitting next to an older woman who noticed my Wagon Train box and gave me a snide look. "And what do you do?", she asked me. "I sell junk bonds.", I said. "Well, I would NEVER do business with a broker who carries a lunch box.", came her answer. I leaned over to her, getting as close as I could and replied in the softest whisper I could manage, "It's full of cash.". She was not amused. Regards, Ben W. Holmes Boulder, CO USA bholmes@frii.com
