Bill,

I have two questions for you.

1) Who was watching the rest of your balloons and equipment while you
were
running ten stores away to get back one balloon?

2) What do you think the mothers of the little children left in line
were
thinking while watching "The Balloon Man" chasing after some 14 year old
in
the mall?

Marty Rock
