Well, sir, if I had read ahead and known that you had already said 
this, I'd have saved my breath. Anyway, you seem to be exactly on 
target.

 Oh, by the way, I'm now marketing targets. For each dollar you send 
me, I'll send you a very well made silver plated target that will 
refine your eyesight and your aim. Also, you could, in an emergency, 
use it along with 15 cents to make a local phone call.
