    BAD, BAD Kitty !!

    Our black lab cleaned 2 dozen christmas cookies off the cooling racks on the counter, and one loaf of homemade bread in one shot. All we found was the bag that the bread had been in. She also licked the butter dish clean one night from the table.

    Free "Stuff"

    I don't know the brand name, but my mom found a piece of metal in a bag of corn chips once. It had even been through the fryer. She sent it back to the company with a letter (not asking for anything), and a few weeks later received a box of 12 bags of chips in different flavors.

    Ken, The June 1, 1990 issue has a ten page article on EAA. I will not scan it and post it here due to the copyright rules, but if you contact Aviation Consumer, they should be able to find it quickly. Robert
