Finally even the salesman runs out of breath and asks you if everything is quite clear. And naturally, you're too proud to adm't that he lost you at the egg fu yung. By this time. Old Star-Gaz- er was beginning to fee! like he'd been listening to a rock station for straight. You know, the same old record over and over. Besides my ice cream was melting.

They were dressed in jeans and tennis shoes. One carried a large black bag slung from his shoulder. I didn't know w hether tliey were salesmen or sonnbody from tlie mafia sent to complete a contract on me. Naturally. I let my wife answer the door. Then I heard a classic example of tlie sneakiest sales trick in the book. It was the "We only want to ask you a about tlie new eddoor-to-do- or fw ucation programs." My wife, in not being scho- oled salesmen tactics had opened the screen door and the salesman had his foot in it before I could stop her. Old though of dashing for the bedroom but Pd already been spotted. Course, anyone who's a veteran knows that "We only want to ask you a few questions about the new education program" translates into "Sucker, you just bought an Star-Ga7- 1 3? ( L.- 7 - cr encyclopedia." And how come is it that encyclopedia salesmen never work for the same company that makes the books they sell. How many times has an encyclopedia salesman come to your door and told you he represents some sophisticated sounding company like Educational Research Associates. Then, five seconds after he sits down, he's pulling out a brand name encyclopedia. Course, then they start with the old psychology. They show you one volume of the 28 volume set kid proof, tear proof and all that. Then thru a series of questions designed to appeal to your vanity they get you to admit that you're interested in your kids' educate ional future even if they're as yet unborn. Then they get you to admit that the would be nice to have around. Nobody, of course, mentions anything about price yet except for a few vague statements about being able to educate your kids for just what it costs to buy a daily newspaper.
