Tickle Abby on her side anywhere from head to toe, and Britty can't feel it--except along a narrow region on their back where they seem to share sensation.

With estimated development costs and interest of $93,000, less commissions and closing costs of 15% of sales revenue, the net proceeds would have been a maximum of $95,000 to be divided between...
