OK, that has me still laughing.
You didn't happen to record it, did you? It would make a great file to
have on a website . . .
The salesman was really upset by the idea, wasn't he? I wonder
if there's a liability problem perceived there?
I suppose we need to think about that sort of problem.
I'm reminded of the quote from the 19th century: "No one but a fool
would build a submarine boat, and only a lunatic would go down in
one." (I've not been able to learn who said it.) The salesmen was
obviously a believer in that.
