Do you have any blessed idea how truly insipid what you just typed and posted is? I suppose not.

Yeah, EV will answer these. Good Lord. This is one of those moments when, as I've said about other stuff, you halfway think somebody has some idea what they are talking about, and then they say something in your wheelhouse and it forces you to realize that the only reason they seem knowledgeable in those other subjects is because you are not.

Account, I appreciate your forthrightness. I don't feel motivated to comment, correct, or even LOL anything you say going forward. Saves me some grief.

Jesus, some of you are truly in love with yourselves while managing complete self-blindness. If it wasn't so frightening, it'd be funny. "APs." Jiminy Crickets.
Is this the kind of talking to you gave your clients who obviously didn’t know Jack shit or they wouldn’t need you? Or did you keep your nose slammed up theirs asses to keep their business?

I didn't take clients who didn't know Jack shit.

By the time I was 35, I was turning down as many people as I took. One of my entrance exam questions was to ask people, "How will you feel if we lose 10 in a row?" That usually was met with silence or some throat clearing. What I was looking for was a response like, "Well as long as we win more than we lose, I'm good with it."

That question kept a lot of the riff raff away. I liked doing the negative pitching.

The first time my better half met one of my long-time partners, I had opened a college season losing six in a row or something like that (albeit for small amounts of money). As we ate lunch in the Mirage (on her comp), the partner said something like, "Hey, Bob, it would be great if we won a game this month." It was pretty funny. She didn't know how to take the banter.
So you grilled your clients on losing streaks? Hahaha! How does that equate to them knowing anything about how to handicap a football game?
