      Demand for them has just skyrocketed, you all saw it!

      If they don’t remember their own names when they get them back you could randomize which name goes to who.

    Reminds me of a short story I read as a kid.

    Someone receives a call from an unknown number and answers. (In the original I read, the setup was a payphone ringing as someone walked by.)

    On answering the phone, that person hears a voice saying “excuse me, may I have a moment of your time?” “Sure,” says the answerer. “Thank you,” says the voice as it disconnects.

    The answerer hung up also, feeling a bit older.

    Now, this Satyr, he asked if he could have your name and you replied by stating your name? Or did you say “yes” and then state your name? I see. I think you have a strong case that the Satyr stole your name. I’d be happy to represent you pro bono, do we have a deal?

      If I walk up and say " May I have your hat please? " and you take off your hat and hand it over, I’d say you’ve just agreed.

        You have to say no while giving them the hat. The moment of confusion is your opening to suckerstab them in the face.
