        (Continued from post 671 ...)

The next year, young Jim's 8th birthday came around, and sure enough,
he requested more pink golfballs.  "Dad," he said, "This year, it
would be really really REALLY great if you could get me FOUR pink
golfballs."  Jim's birthday came around and four pink golfballs
were given to Jim.  Christmas rolled around yet again, and (on request)
Jim got EIGHT pink golfballs.  For about two days after Xmas, Jim
did not emerge from his room, locking himself in and ignoring his
father knocking on the door when various thumps, crashes, groans
and the occasional muffled scream could be heard.
 
More years passed, and Jim only ever requested more and more pink
golfballs.  "Dad, 20 pink golfballs please", "Dad, 50 this year if
you REALLY want to make me a happy child", "Oh sweetest father of
all fathers, I will love you forever if you get me 100 pink
golfballs".  After each birthday or Xmas, Jim disappeared and did
SOMETHING with the balls, involving many bangs, thumps, crashes,
tinkling of broken glass, groans, laughter, barely supressed screams,
and something that resembles a very quiet air raid siren.
 
Eventually, Fred (Jim's father) was overwhelmed by curiosity, and crept 
into Jim's room while the boy was at school one day ...
