Here are my conditions. You make me out a bill of exchange for 40'000 Fr. and I'll give you 25 Fr. in cash, 3'000 Fr. worth of white mustard and articulated clogs, 3'000 Fr. worth of chips, a carriage wheel, two cows, four shares in Physionotype and a quintal of useful facts... I don't have any other assets in hand, but these are worth their weight in gold.
