	No matter. I'm not above making a ridiculous offer, but still
wouldn't have the nerve to suggest a freebie.

I was kinda busting Steve's chops.  Many moons ago, whilst I and Doctor D8
were visiting Steve's shop, I mentioned that I had no miter box, and Steve
said something to the effect of, "Well, we can't let that situation
continue, and in fact, we can rectify it right now."  He pulled out an old
Stanley No. 115 miter box from behind and under something and said, "here,
take this."  

I had it for a few years before similarly passing it along to another Galoot
as a freebie, because in the meantime I had acquired about four more
miterboxes.

At this point, I think I'm down to three - might be two; I'd have to go take
an inventory.  At one point I think I had about seven floating about the
shop.  I intend to whittle it down to just one that I actually use.
