The Shopping Trolley
My father is a skilled CPA, but is not great at self-promotion. So
when an advertising company offered to put my father's business
placard in the shopping trollies of a supermarket, my dad jumped at the
chance.
Fully a year went by before we got a call that could be
traced to those placards.
"Richard Larson, CPA?" the caller asked.
"That's right," my father answered. "May I help you?"
"Yes," the voice said. "One of your shopping trollies is in my yard and
I want you to come and get it."Androgens Order
