There once was a man from Stockholm and he bound books for a living. He lived like a king but he dined like a fool. Jeff was his name and he aced algebra with his eye patched on one side. This was good and Jeff was always an A student. One day Jeff walked into a basement of his friend's home and beat him in chess. This left his friend annoyed but quite amazed. Jeff really never even played chess before in his life and his friend played nightly. So Jeff had something special and we all really knew that he would get a big head over his true trust in his skills and his intellect. That said, I sent Jeff a telegram the other day and told him that he might win a free chess set if he bought some marbles for the Prince of Stockholm. Jeff refused since he actually liked to eat marbles and if he gave them to a Prince, the Prince might not be his friend after seeing that they might have been chewed upon. So Jeff stayed in the clock tower and threw some marbles that he chewed upon into the streets below thinking that someone might like to see them bounce on the pavement.
Jeff is exceptional in his money making skills and he owns a yacht and a baseball diamond as well. The baseball diamond is very special and because of this he only lets the Cincinnati Reds play versus the Pittsburgh Pirates in his diamond.
So if you ever see my friend who binds books from Stockholm, remind him that he once tasted a marble that did not agree with him and that marble is now on display in the Smithsonian Institution. I will be there to take photographs and Jeff might like to see that marbles really look good when they are rolling in the football stadiums of life. Thanks.
