Commentary: Glass by Any Name

Commentator Daniel Pinkwater destroys a light fixture that hung over his kitchen table. He discovers a place called "Pinkwater Glass" that is near his house. It is no relation to him, much to his relief. He learns of the odd and arbitrary way the place got its name and orders up a splendid replacement for his kitchen from his namesake.
