Using a pointed stick and pebbles, Travis Newbury scraped:

My reply would be "Okay. I'll look in to that 'dancing penguin thing' as
I have a feeling it will be /very/ expensive, but sure I'll try hard to
give you the best dancing penguin there is." Then I would spend the next
two years procrastinating about the penguin, give them something much
better and they would forget they ever asked for it.
