Over thirty years ago, Mediterranean-style furniture was in vogue (and maybe redbook and cosmopolitan as well, but I digress). We had a black velvet collage of a sunken treasure ship over our massive sectional sofa. One morning my field supervisor saw said black velvet collage and inquired as to how much we had paid for same. Mrs. JSC asked why he wanted to know. The reply so that he could buy it from us and break it; he was way ahead of his time!
