I'm Your Huckleberry

A reminder that the next meeting of the GBC is soon approaching.  This month's theme is "Choose your own Mark Twain" which should bode for some fairly interesting quotes and I would venture at least one member in period costume.  In this vein, I will submit mine a bit early:

"To Whom It May Concern - Parties having need of three thousand two hundred and eleven feet of the best quality zinc-plated spiral-twist lightning-rod stuff, and sixteen hundred and thirty-one silver-tipped points, all in tolerable repair (and, although much worn by use, still equal to any ordinary emergency), can hear of a bargain by addressing the publisher."
