My mother-in-law insisted I take it. I couldn't believe
she had one, let alone still had it after all these years.

I rank this with discovering when I was in high school
that my grandmother liked science fiction and had a
collection of old novels. I would never have guessed,
but should have had a clue when I found her watching the
old "Planet of the Apes" TV series a few years before.

The sooner the better. You don't want to hear "well, we
finally just threw it out and got a brick".
