Asbestos Knowledge Sparks Bet Between Restaurant Talkers
A gray moustached diner and two companions debate asbestos origins and history. A little man claims vast knowledge but is challenged as the discussion traces asbestos from Charlemagne to Franklin and Sloane, noting a museum link, Peters Plot experiments, early royal curiosities and the price of asbestos in Chinese Tartary. The exchange ends with a $10 bet over a claim about a 89,600 truth.
