   Oh yeah, or a separate store is great too.  Better idea.  But no billboards, it   
   should be like you have to look it up to find it, no open advertising.   
      
   Like maybe you could put an advertisement in "Cigar Aficionado" you know or   
   "High   
   Times."   
      
   Like instead of "Liquor Store" it should just have a number.  Out of sight out   
   of   
   mind.  You should have to know.   
      
   I mean it's my body, my spray paint.  This stuff is like huffing spray paint.
