Man, 3 years of college and you just wound up making signs. The guy who said that to me still has a malh stick stuck up his nose.

Posted by Ray Rheaume (Member # 3794) on :
1 "While I got you here......." 2 "Do you do body work. too?" 3 "If you give me a discount, I can help get you more work."
Resulting quotes by me... 1 "Sure, why not?" 2 "Nope, I just make 'em pretty." 3 "I've got plenty of work right now, but thanks for the offer"
What my mind is usually saying...... 1 "Just once I'd like to get home early!" 2 "No way am I doing all that sanding!" 3 "right...make money form the next guy...congratulations...your the next guy"

That looks like anybody can do it.
Geeze, for $35 I thought it would have been a whole lot fancier than this.
You don't care what you're doing as long as you're working, huh.
WHAT?! Why, I've never paid more than $60 for a sign in my life.
Oh, no. I don't pay tax on signs.
You can't use that little book on me - that's Price Fixing! (Well, I can always charge more. A LOT more...)
What's your best price? (For me or for you?)
What's a sign like that worth? (A million dollars. I'm going to let you have it for $450)
$200 huh? Can't you do it for 100? (Sure. Or I can REALLY f**k it up for 50)
My favorite meaningless quote of all time is one by Joseph Campbell; "They were not they for they one were. One was and not they them."

Them : "You know my wife does some designing on our home computer maybe she can do a layout for you to look at."
Me: "That would be great." Emphasis on great. Do they think that will save us sometime and them some money?

At night it's colder than outside ---------------------------------- Sign related: there are too many to count, but one I have not seen here that has happened to me countless times when I traveled on weekends and hand lettered valances in a chain of convenience stores, while teetering high up on a ladder, brush in hand, sign kit on the floor, customer steps up and stops me cold: "Where is the dogfood? (milk, soup, bandaids????)"
"I don't work here, it just looks like it!"

While lettering a window:
"Are you a signpainter?"
That's not what Bob had in mind with his original post, but it's the only thing I could think of.

The best most recent (MEANINGFUL) quote I've heard is from Norman Schwartzcoff.
"Going to war without the French is like going deer hunting without your accordion".
