There are plenty of ALMOST gloats, but I have one that involves a
fellow galoot.

If you recall, Bill Ghio recently posted about Disston #9, 3/4 backsaw
that landed in his lap. A man he knew found it in a box in an antique
shop and just knew Bill would like it.

This evening at a social event I was in a conversation with this man and
he said "I was going to call you next, but it was a question of which
one of you answered the phone".

Needless to say, I bought him a double scotch for the promise of my
being first next time.
