The Garage Sale

Let's call him a kid. In reality he was probably twenty. He asked for a fan initially and I wasn't sure if he meant something hand-held and oriental perhaps, or metal and motorised. I said no, no fans, but I was prompted to sitting from the reading-the-paper position I'd held on the couch (also for sale). No fans. Anything with a small motor? What about the blender? No. A fan would be better. What do you need it for? We're building a mini-golf course and we need something to power the windmill.
