- On our families trip back from Whistler BC, we had a whole
- pocketful of mints and candies from all the restaraunts we had
- eaten at. I got the silly idea to start handing them out to all
- the NY,NJ,DEL tollkeepers. The responses were excellent. Some
- were down right confused, some smiled big time and actually
- became real people and said "Thank you very much". Going through
- Delaware was great there are about 5 toll booths. We even
- experimented with trying to greet the toll keeper without the
- mint and with the mint, without the mint got us no reply at all.
- Try it sometime, beats counting pididles.
