	Seen in a Paperback Booksmith store yesterday:
	______________________________________________
	|    Sorry, we cannot accept anything over a |
	|    $20 bill without a picture ID.	     |
	|____________________________________________|

	Golly, what's the world coming to, when they won't even take
CASH without identification?    My temptation is to return to that store,
get $90 worth of books, and present them with a $100. bill and no ID.  If
they refuse the bill, then they must return the books to the shelves
without my help.   If enough people do this, they may realize that some 
people believe that picture IDs should be used for serious purposes, or for
nations such as South Africa.
	The problem with this plan is that I can't think of $90 worth of
anything that Paperback Booksmith carries and that I want.  Perhaps 22
copies of "1984"? :-)
