  4. Showman’s way of demonstrating "Who here hasn't been shot?" Miguel Caballero is walking around his company's showroom in Bogotá, Colombia, holding a .38-caliber revolver. "You!" he says, pointing to German Gonzalez, a 20-something salesman who's been on the job for just two weeks. "You're next." Gonzalez wiggles nervously into an $850 brown suede winter jacket and zips it up to the collar. A foot or so away, the smiling Caballero lowers the weapon and takes aim. "One!" Gonzalez takes a deep breath and stares up at the ceiling. "Two!..." A deafening blast sends Gonzalez lurching backward - and then screaming out in relief, clutching at the hole in the jacket where the bullet has come to a safe stop.
