Thanks, everyone. That's what I thought. Just though I'd ask.

My wife had a married couple as jewelry customers who were super friendly, and they asked us to dinner at their house. We went, and got an earful for 2 hours on some sort of Amway-type deal. We didn't know they were into this thing, and were just expecting a pleasant dinner party. It was very strange.

But what the made the evening particularly surreal was their 10-year old son with no arms or legs. I kid you not. He got around by writhing and rolling his body. No wheelchair. We didn't know about him, and they introduced him with great enthusiasm and pride. Which is all well and good, they should love him and not keep him cloistered away somewhere. I would have been happy to meet their poor son in a normal situation. But to sit on their couch, listening to their unanticipated high-energy sales pitch while their kid rolled around the house... I thought I was in the Twilight Zone.

We said "No" to their sales pitch and never heard from them again.
