Speaking of big stuff, parts store long ago. Countermans name was Del. Someone would ask for the biggest cotter pin you got. Del would ask, 'you sure'? Then he would haul out the big one, toss it on the counter. The customer mouth would open, the pin was over 3 foot long, and 1.5 inches diameter. Story was he picked it up in a ship yard, was good for a lot of laughs
