Guys; You may not believe this, but when I'm not here..trading punches with a few like minded cohorts....I'm actually a businessman, trying to help other aspiring business people.

And today, in the Offline Marketing section...I read this.

It made my day. And what makes it far more fun, is that this guy only sees me as the guy giving business advice. If Riffle would have said this, it would have fallen flat (and Riffle is far too skilled). But because it's from someone who isn't trading barbs with me, it tickles me. I think I'll print it out, and put it on my office wall.

Anyway, just sharing the joy.

      I could add the hat. Then I would be Santa Claude.

          Well as long as your sig doesn't say, it rubs the lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again, you are okay in my book always.Why worry?

          Have you thought this was the real secret of your sales ability all along and perhaps a Lee Press On Facial Scar will bring more character?

    I would never say something so ridiculous about you, Claude.

    To even think you give great advice is absurd.

        This isn't a joke. Until you just said it, I completely missed that the name of the OP was on the thread title.

        And that's why I usually put my name in the title.

        So.......Maybe "Brilliant" is overselling it....Just a Trifle

          Shane; And I want you to know that I appreciate the effort in creating the hat.

          And I did give the suitcase full of unmarked bills to a guy in the men's room, at the Crown Casino.

          I thought he said "I'm Shane". Now that I think about it, it was probably "I'm Ashamed".


          I better not say why.
