3/4's of a race cam

We actually did that once at a parts store where I worked. Had this kid that was always coming in wanting to price out all sorts of parts for his latest imaginary project, that ALWAYS included a "3/4 cam". At first I tried to explain that such was an archaic term that had no real relevance to 'modern' OHV valve engines and that he needed to decide on lift, duration, etc or at least intended use and RPM range. None of this ever took hold, so after a couple of months of this time waster, a couple of us took an old damaged cam that Brian had, and did just this - we sawed 4 lobes off then glued it back together and stored the cam gently beneath the counter.
Next time kid in question came in and said the 'magic word', I excitedly exclaimed that 'man, are you in luck today! We just got a batch of 3/4 cams in on an unbelievable special! $19.95 for 3/4 cams for your application! Have one for you right here." So the kid gets wide eyed and says 'Yeah! 20 bux for a 3/4 cam?!? I'll take it!''
With that, I grabbed the 'special cam' , whacked it on the counter causing 25% of it to fly off into the aisle, handed it to him and said "Here ya go! Heres your THREE QUARTER cam! take it up front to the cashier..." and walked off.
