...Hail to the Chief," the tune that precedes our President on so many solemn occasions. At regular intervals, the equally unmistakable bump and grind of strip tease music, punctuated with high-pitched feminine giggles and deep male grunts, interrupted the song's stately rhythm, intimating what lay in store in a dubious London establishment. Then came another unmistakable sound--a hoarse, male voice with a thick Arkansas drawl reluctantly confessing to kissing those giggling young ladies and pressing their flesh.

Now, you might not be lucky enough to live near a Boscov's--but the principle is sound. Go to a local department store or another outlet that you trust to take your machine back if it doesn't work out for you.
