Warning!! Beverage alert! Swallow before proceeding! ;)
Story I saw somewhere, attributed to Reader's Digest . . . supposedly a true story . . .
Remember when velcro was new (patented 1955)?
Well, not too long after it began to be used in common articles, like wallets, two American ladies were traveling Scotland. They had just finished touring a castle, and were purchasing souvenirs in the gift shop.
One lady pulled out her wallet, which had a velcro closure. As she opened it to take out her money, it made the characteristic velcro sound.
The laird, who was tending the cash register that afternoon, got a surprised and excited look on his face. He exclaimed gleefully, "Wonderful!! They've finally invented a wallet that screams when you open it!!!"
Cheers, 
Mark
