2. Genuine Official U.S. Government Surplus Astronaut Space Suit. Take my money now.

13. Dr. Miles’ Nervine to steady nerves. Since I have been taking Nervine nothing bothers me! Take my money now.
14. Swift’s, foremost name in Meats for Babies. Start early with this 100% meat for babies! Ah, they don’t make babies like they used to. No wonder this generation has grown soft and weak.
15. Why can we not get our vitamins from donuts anymore? Why???
