This is one of my all-time favorites and whoever gave it a \"1\" rating probably owns a diamond mine in South Africa, or is Chinese or Dutch or a Boy Scout or named Walter or has five kids.

I know y\'all have already dissected this one but I believe in following instructions, so I haven\'t read anyone else\'s comments yet.

I love the absolutes, the black and white, good versus evil moral dilemma thrown at us here. As we roll along, knowing that this is a set-up, don\'t we find ourselves asking what we would decide if confronted with this proposition? With five kids and the oft-mentioned dental bills? A new one in the oven and a wife so frazzled that it\'s a wonder she had time to get pregnant (or the inclination to procreate with Mason Adams at his wimpiest?)

The absolutes... what is that old saying, something like \"corruption corrupts absolutely,\" something to that effect? I was not surprised that Walter caved in and took the proposition, but the ending... incredible. On repeated listenings I cannot help but laugh when Walter says something like , \"I thought I should have brought a hammer or something, but... a poker!\" God, Johnny Too Good suddenly a connoisseur of blunt instrument technology!

Whaddya wanna bet he rips the maibox out of the ground and pounds stars into the mailman when the check never comes! Brilliant. I loved this show.
