Well, if we're onto Jobs stories, my son, Jed, at about age 13 or 14, was
tric'n'treatin' in Jobs' neighborhood. Jed went up to the house and Jobs
answered the door and gave each kid single piece of candy. Jed, of course, went
back a while later to get more. Jobs said, "I remember you. I've already given
you a piece..." [Jed was wearing one of his more creative outfits if I
remember; blue tights, red cape and a jock strap on the outside].
Of course Jed had a good comeback (he knew who Jobs was because Jobs' daughter
went to the same public highschool (whole 'nother story there...)), "What's the
matter Steve, can't you afford it?"
I love that story; my boy :-)
