The latest fad in babymaking offers guaranteed, worry-free gender selection for just $199 plus shipping. Some experts call it "snake oil."

I'd go as far as to offer a 'double your money back' guarantee. I'm not greedy. The $5 or $10 bucks profit I make on shipping is enough.

Oh. Nevermind.

I have been on the job in Bettendorf, but I have my eye on the situation.
