"Good afternoon, madam.  How may I help you?"

"Good afternoon.  I'd like a FrintArms HandCannon, please."

"A--?  Oh, now, that's an awfully big gun for such a lovely lady.  I mean,
not everybody thinks ladies should carry guns at all, though I say they
have a right to.  But I think... I might... Let's have a look down here.
I might have just the thing for you.  Yes, here we are!  Look at that,
isn't it neat?  Now that is a FrintArms product as well, but it's what's
called a laser -- a light-pistol some people call them.  Very small, as you
see; fits easily into a pocket or bag; won't spoil the line of a jacket;
and you won't feel you're lugging half a tonne of iron around with you.
We do a range of matching accessories, including -- if I may say so --
a rather saucy garter holster.  Wish I got to do the fitting for that!
Ha -- just my little joke.  And there's *even*... here we are -- this
special presentation pack: gun, charged battery, charging unit, beautiful
glider-hide shoulder holster with adjustable fitting and contrast stitching,
and a discount on your next battery.  Full instructions, of course, and a
voucher for free lessons at your local gun club or range.  Or there's the
*special* presentation pack; it has all the other one's got but with *two*
charged batteries and a night-sight, too.  Here, feel that -- don't worry,
it's a dummy battery -- isn't it neat?  Feel how light it is?  Smooth, see?
No bits to stick out and catch on your clothes, *and* beautifully balanced.
And of course the beauty of a laser is, there's no recoil.  Because it's
shooting light, you see?  Beautiful gun, beautiful gun; my wife has one.
Really.  That's not a line, she really has.  Now, I can do you that one --
with a battery and a free charge -- for ninety-five; or the presentation pack
on a special offer for one-nineteen; or this, the special presentation pack,
for one-forty-nine."

"I'll take the special."

"Sound choice, madam, *sound* choice.  Now, do--?"

"And a HandCannon, with the eighty-mill silencer, five GP clips, three six-five
AP/wire-flechettes clips, two bipropellant HE clips, and a Special Projectile
Pack if you have one -- the one with the embedding rounds, not the signalers.
I assume the night-sight on this toy is compatible?"

"Aah... yes,  And how does madam wish to pay?"

She slapped her credit card on the counter.  "Eventually."

		-- Iain M. Banks, "Against a Dark Background"
