Saving for the baby's education: how can a young family be 
disciplined so as to regularly put money in the pig (bank)? Why, put a 
tarriff on all items coming into the house, just like the U.S. 
Government does/did for items coming into the country! But the devil 
is in the details; what about taxing items brought in by visitors? Is 
the housemaid herself a taxable item? What items really are 
'necessaries' versus luxuries? When visitors arrive these guests 
stoop to either 'smuggling' in their luggage items to avoid having to 
pay up to 30% of the value, or wear only what they came dressed in. 
The hosts are equally hypocritical, but all parties accuse the others 
of cheating. How will the education fund fare? Will the guest leave in 
a huff? Find out! (summary by Arnold Banner)
