Funny story... my favorite B&M is a high end pipe gallery with the finest example of pipes by the masters. My pipe club meets there and a friend was constantly telling Skip that he should carry some Missouri Meerschaum pipes. Skip kept trying to explain to him that it wasn't "that" type of pipe shop. This was like asking a high end shoe store to carry flip-flops, or asking a jewelry store to sell bubblegum jewelry. But, after a couple of years of hearing his constant bitch about them damned abominable corncobs, when he walked in for pipe club night, Skip surprises him with one of those cheap ass cardboard display cutouts of some MM corncob pipes, marked $12.
And, without skipping a beat, he said, I can get them cheaper online.
It took the whole pipeclub to keep Skip from killing that cheap ass SOB and cramming that cardboad display up his ass... although we all did get a kick or two in while he was on the ground.
