As an example of one man who struck when the iron was hot, consider the not inappropriately named Chick Sale. He made a fairly sizeable fortune by writing a rather dull book on nothing more exciting than a privy--it really isn't very exciting--and he sustained it by donning a false beard and making equivocal remarks for vaudeville audiences...
