The Antiques Show
HSuys"Excuse me, do you work here?"
"Yes, I do."
"I would like some information."
"How can I help you?"
"What are these?"
"Drumsticks."
"I mean, why are these five times more expensive
than new ones? This is a second-hand store, no?"
"Ah! That's because Led Zeppelin's Jon Bonham
used these sticks while recording ‘Stairway to
Heaven’."
"If I understand correctly, this is actually a
bargain..."
"I think so too."
"Can you pack them for me?"
"Of course. But if you have a moment, I also have
the guitar pick here somewhere Jimi Hendrix
played with at Woodstock."
"Do you really?"
