  This guy was selling these New York Yankee pennants for US$5 almost as fast as he could make change. After seeing him sell about twenty of them in five minutes, I said, "Man you're going to sell out. The parade is not for another two hours."
"Oh we got plenty" he replied. "We came up here from New Orleans ...Louisiana"
"We brought 14 boxes with 400 to a box."
I thought for a minute and said, "That's almost $30,000!"
"Something like that" he casually relied.
I told him I was from Texas, and we spoke a while longer before I moved on.
