"Now, when we take three hundred millilitres of a compound containing hydrogen and oxygen in a ratio of two to one and add three millilitres of an eight-hundredths percent stannous-fluoride solution, and fifty millilitres of treated industrial wastes and solids, we get drinking water."

A banana split has one banana, three lumps of ice milk, crushed pineapple, strawberries, chocolate syrup and whipped cream. In two days of our forty-nine cent special, we sold five thousand splits. Businessmen want a pretty face at the counter and counter girls have personality to deal with the public.

"Now look - International has a net quick of $15 per share. Its market price is $10, book is $36.65. Our net quick is $8; our book is$22, and at market we are selling for $25. So to start with we offer them one share of ours for two of theirs. That's five bucks premium. Can they turn it down? So they turn it down. Then we say, O.K., we'll buy the assets. We'll give you $1 million for your plant, which stands at $3,900,000 net. That wipes out all the water, gives them a fine tax carry-back. Then we give them 80 per cent of net inventory and accounts receivable - that's another $4 million. Another nice tax loss for them. So we pay 'em $5 million. There's nothing complicated about this except - say, where do we get the turn-around money"
