Once my kid was selling raffle tickets for his school, trying to win a
bike. One day, he went out and was back in ten minutes. I asked him why he
was home. He said, "I sold all the tickets I had." I looked at them, and
all were signed "Pete Fountain." I asked hi if the guy was bald headed, and
he said yes. (Pete lived a few blocks away.)
I resisted the urge to keep them and sell the autographs. ;-)
