	Twain recalled with amusement the high-pressure sales pitch used by salesmen of the [[NORWEGIAN PLOW COMPANY]]. Twain reported that the salesman informed him that any country where farmers really knew how to plow used a Norwegian plow. The salesman was so confident in his product that he claimed if a competitor's plow was found to be as good he would eat it without any Worcestershire sauce to "flavor it up."
