The price of Christmas toys is outrageous--a hundred dollars, two hundred
dollars for video games for the youngsters. I remember a Christmas years
ago when my son was a kid. I bought him a tank. It was about a hundred
dollars, a lot of money in those days. It was the kind of tank you could
actually get inside and ride in.
He played in the box it came in.
It taught me a very valuable lesson. Next year he got a box. And I got a
hundred dollars' worth of scotch.
