- Famous story about a man on Long Island who bought a Barometer, unwrapped it
HURRICANE said the barometer..
Tapped it
HURRICANE it read

Irate, Said person wrote a terse note, rewrapped the barometer, drove miles
through the rain & wind to an open post office.
Sent it back to Abecrombie & Fitch in New York,
arrived back at his house to find it washed away..

Hurricane !

That's pretty dang funny! Or sad, depending...
