OK, you guys deserve this:  A four-panel "BC" cartoon.

1st:  BC and friend are walking through the forest and emerge into a 
mountain glen.

2nd:  BC:  "Smell that fresh mountain air.  I should bottle this and sell it 
back in the city."

3rd:  Friend:  "Who'd be stupid enough to buy that?"

4th:  BC:  "Same people who buy bottled water."
