For our Computer Faire booth, we used to have a 5'
inflatable toy
Tyrannosaurus (wearing a valid admission badge as VP of Marketing) holding
an 8" diskette with a bite out of it. One time, a little kid walked up
and said, "that's not real." My assistant said, "that's right,
it's just
a plastic inflatable." The kid responded, "not that, you dork, that disk
is fake." Bob said, "No, that's a real diskette; they used to make them
like that." The kid rolled his eyes and said, "yeah. right." and walked
away.
Little punk...
