- In fact, my nasty, suspicious mind creates its own scenario. These
- are the binoculars that a customer dropped on the floor, totally
- destroying their innards. So now the dealer uses them to demonstrate
- how "indestructable" they are. :-) Naw, couldn't be. No-one,
- outside of NYC mail order, is *that* dishonest. Naw.
