         My memory is that I was on the floor
         of the show, looking at the transmitter.
         I mentally multiplied the Ep by the Ip and
         noted the Line current.

         I asked the salesman if it was true
         that the unit had an efficiency factor
         of 122%.

         He said: "Get out of here, kid."
