Maybe I'm being way to deep with this one. Loosely what I'm saying is take all the signs jobs you can, but don't take more than you can handle. In my area we have a few guys who will take every job that comes down the pike. They not only end up giving themselves a bad name but their customers become leary of all sign guys and gals. A sign guy up the street needed some help carving some signs for our town. I offered to help and he said fine.( I hand carve for the record ) When another sign friend of his heard I was going to do this he said he would design and computer carve the two 3'x 2' HDU signs for him for $125. This other sign shop is the type of shop that wants no one else in the biz. He will suck up any job even if he takes a lose. He is large enough to absorb a loss once and a while. To make a long story short and get right to the moral of the story. One of my customers needed a fairly expensive neon job done, I needed to shop out the job. This other shop does neon but I can tell you who didn't get the job. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!!!

I've been with my wife, Kate for 27 years. Recently my neighbor's wife, Edith, has shown an interest in me. So.....can I have my Kate and Edith too?
