[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4889817, member: 19675"] That reminds me of an episode of a TV show- Tales from the Crypt, Tales from the Darkside, or something similar (I can't recall which)- in which a couple had a well on their property into which they lowered things to the unknown, unseen beings at the bottom. If they liked it, they sent gold and gems back up in the bucket, with a note along the lines of "our scientists have determined that this is _______, and it is good. Got anything else?" If they didn't, they sent it back with a note saying expressing disapproval or some such. The husband was controlling and abusive, but his instincts were generally good on this, so he eventually sent them some food...which they [I]really [/I]liked. But eventually, he figured he could just go down there and rob them. He had his wife lower him into the hole- despite her protests- dressed in his improvised battle-garb. After a while, his wife hauled up the bucket, loaded with more gold than ever..."our scientists have determined this to be Turkey, and it is good. Got anything else?" [/QUOTE]
