[Rhodes22-list] Mohammed, Prophet of Doom

Everything came out right with the rich dude.  You did fly them for free just to oogle his traveling partner.

What makes you think Stan is selling his boats above cost?  From what I can see, he really does live his philosophy.

Printed copies of my book "Quote Without Comment" are now available from Amazon and all Bookstores.

Ask for "Quote Without Comment" by Bill Effros--ISBN 1-5901-9587-6 

If they are out of stock add the book to your "Wish List" and they will tell you when it is back in stock--usually within 2 days.

Stan,

A thousand dollar tip?  I'm in the wrong profession.
That reminds me of a charter I flew 25 years ago.  We
hauled this "rich" dude and his trophy wife/concubine
to the Kentucky Derby and he tipped my co-pilot and me
$100 each.  We would have flown the trip for free just
to oogle his traveling partner.  Anyway, a few days
later his check for the trip bounced and we never
collected.  He sure knew how to put on a good show
though.

You're probably to the left side of nearly every cult
alright, but how do you justify selling your boats
above your cost?  Shouldn't you share your new $1000
as a rebate with all the previous buyers?

Sometimes Stan, I get the impression your whole
boat-building enterprise is just a greedy profit
scheme.
