Boy, you're not kidding.  As far as I'm concerned, the satellite is the
greatest thing since perforated toilet paper.

I tried to get some of them a while back, but everybody at JCP
denied any knowledge of them whatsoever, so perhaps this is just
one of those urban legends.  One rumor somebody from Charlotte told
me was that just before they expired Crockett gave them to the 
World Health Organization (!) and that they were distributed in
Third World countries.  Surely this isn't true, but it's a fun story...

My understanding is that Vader really sprained his wrist; if you look
at the tape, you can see from his movements that it hurt.  I think it's
better know, but the wrist angle is being used to conceal his current
Japan tour...
