They told me that, "by accident", they had just run off 1000 pens with my name and address on it, and I could have them for half price, which I think was still 50 cents a piece. I told them I was not interested. They kept insisting they would have to throw them away if I didn't buy them. The salesman then told me the address and phone number (which was wrong), that was already on the pen. When I told them it was the wrong address, (or phone number, I don't remember) the salesman told me they could change it without any problem. I said, well if you can change the address on the pen, then you can change the name, and the phone number too, so just change it to someone else. I don't think they guy ever heard an argument like that. He was actually speechless. Wim </HTML>
