Methinks I recognize it from the Hammacher-Schlemmer catalog." (For $40,000, he will seize the implement and use it to slice some cheese.) The King also has trouble sleeping. A Sominex visual would be $20,000; for $40,000, he would actually swallow a pill; for $60,000, his insomnia can be cured, though this will take some rewriting...
