Im thinking of when i was a kid and some of you remember this ploy of blackandwhite scotty that were magnets. You help them next to each other and they pushed away and you help them on the wrong end. That was sally and publicity. She knew was part of her job. She knew when you fly you give back by going around the world and telling about your trip and she absolutely hated it.
