That's true. If they had been selling insect repellent I would have 
bought some. When I went to an opera in Pula a few years ago.

Gancaloon's theatre is reputedly insect free, they say, but I do not 
have it from my own experience. We shall see.

The builders are thinking about it. The costs, you know, the costs!

I tell you, the back of my neck was red raw with ant bites.

Nasty. Did you enjoy the opera despite them?

I remember watching Rigoletto in the arena of Verona, as a boy.

The image is very promising but not yet finished obviously. Someone should sell
otter noses... (From: The Life of Brian).

Personally I missed a concert of Frank Zappa at a similiar theatre at Orange,
France, many years ago. But I had to travel to Finland which was an experience
with insects (midges in this case) indeed.

BTW: Selling things has nothing to do with capitalism. A major aspect of
capitalism is that the worker has to sell his work force to the owner of the
production devices (see Karl Marx: The Capital). We don't know under what
conditions the pillows are crafted here.

Best regards,
Michael

They are very probably hand crafted by artisants, and sold directly by 
them, or sold to some merchand who, in turn, sell them to the clients.
Typical pre-industrial economy.

Er... is not the cyan man a tireless golem in the service of the Satrap? 
Is it exhausted and should be recharged?
