[Paddlewise] MB's Take and How Many Jelly Beans In The Kayak

I would have estimated sales of 10,000 copies of SEA
KAYAKERS IN DEEP S***, but some poster or imposter on
Paddlewise mentioned that Amazon ranking was 17,000+
so I took that as unit number of sales and I added a
carefully calculated percentage of sales outside of
A.com.  Foul!  By properly reverting to my estimate of
10,000 units sold at $2.00 a unit and dividing the
result by 3 to account for the co-author and editor,
which I ommitted but which is facto evidentus and
faulto minimus.  Therefore, my properly adjusted
estimate would be 10,000 copies at $2.00 each / 3
partners = $6,650.00  (I will not write three s*xes in
a row, especially in October.) With future sales
through October 2003 Mr. Broze would gross an
additional $1,950.00 under existing circumstances.  
However, I intend to soon write a glowing review of
his book on A.com which will effect an addition to his
gross profit of $250.00  Therefore, his adjusted gross
profit is $6,458.06.  My estimate of $6,650.00 is
1.57% off the mark, and the closest guess by far.  It
has been a pleasure to participate in this contest.
Please contact me  backchannel or by spirtual medium
for model, color and shipping address of the prize.
