At the border between United States and Canada, an irate father slugged a customs officer who was trying to pry excess Beanie Babies from his daughter.
The Economist 12/5/98
Is this the beginning of the story, or the end?
Is this guy a divorced father trying to win his daughter's approval? Is his name George, Newman, Claude, Muhammed?
Is the customs officer an old girlfriend?
Is the kid manipulating her father or is she a pawn? Is her name Tiffany, Harriet, Meg, Susie?
