We have a stack of advance copies, reviewer’s copies, etc., of books on a table at work. I just glanced over it and saw one called **Fuller Breasts**. Maybe showing my age, but I actually stood there for a moment, thinking, “they sell those things door-to-door now?!”

**Eve** , you owe me for the Windex I’m going to need for my monitor. I’ll bet that 80% of the people reading this will have never heard of a Fuller Brush man, however.

Hey, I’m only 35 and _I’ve_ heard of them. 'Course, my parents grew up during the Depression.

Heck, I’m 38, and not only have I heard of Fuller Brush men, I remember them coming to our house.
