I remember the monthly gun shows in Vancouver, British Columbia back in the 80's and 90's. There was a fellow who month after month brought the same minty in the box Greener Harpoon gun, but no one ever seemed interested. I met an old whaler there one day. He told me how many whales his ship got in the last year of legal whaling off the west coast of Vancouver Island, and it was a huge number. When I expressed surprise, he said, "Well, there was a lot more of them in those days."
