Joe -

Just a couple of days ago I was at Sam's Warehouse Store and they had a guy giving away a free "Ultra Sharp Surgical Steel Paring Knife" to anyone who'd listen to his schpiel about the other crap he was pushing.

I listened long enough to get a look at the paring knives and decided they were'nt anything I needed, and the rest of the junk was "late night TV gottagetitnow" kinda junk so I didn't wait around to get one. He was passing out "larger packages" to some other people who listened, but I found several of them discarded in the pork chop bin a little later. I guess the "gifted recipients" weren't impressed enough to take them through the checkout line.

The name was the same - or very similar, but I wouldn't guess that the knives he was giving away were anything one would rave much about. (rant maybe?).

Sorry I didn't get a name for the "company." I'll see if the guy is still around when I make my "after payday" grocery run - if I remember by then.
