...amazingly, I have two offers from readers here for the pistol, and
even more amazing, they both made the same $$$ offer.

This is easy; maybe I'll start a conglomerate by also opening a used
musical instrument store. :)

(Just a joke, R...)




I happen to like having a conglomerate. I am the big gahoona, the
sales and marketing department, senior buyer, the accounting
department, webmaster, telephone receptionist, the stock room clerk
and the rest room maintenance technician.

Seriously, I am really enjoying this experience. Unlike my past, very
specialized career, this thing exposes me to all kinds of people and
their styles and personalities. I am getting a big kick out of it.
Engineers are basically all the same, but musicians, musician
wannabe's and general shoppers are something else.

A guy called me today about a Taylor 12-string I have. Said he saw it
on the website and he's seen many guitars just like it for a lot less
money, so would I knock off a few hundred.

I asked him if they were the same guitar ... a Taylor 355.

He didn't know. He said the ones he saw just looked a lot like the one
I have.

He was dead serious. I told him that he should buy the cheapest one
he can find.

Fun is fun. I'm writing a speech for a new client. It's for delivery in
late August. When he called, he said I was recommended by a current
client. He wanted to know if I would give him a discount on the first
speech because he "didn't know me." I didn't tell him he should find a
cheaper speech writer. :)

I gave him a discount. It's only my time that's involved. I don't have
to buy goods and resell them for a profit.



More bull****. Try using your "skills" to make it more believable next
time.
