an odd offer

[Nighthawk]

I got that once- it's how I got my saffron. That was more of a tip, though, than something in lieu of payment.

Recall this MOB said, “You mean you expect us to pay for it?”

I've dealt with countless MOB's over the years, my well-honed instincts are shouting in my ear that something ain't right with this woman.

It's OK with me if she doesn't call back. There're plenty of clients who don't mind compensating me with federal reserve notes.

I'll consider the merits of posting a graphic of the tartan.....

Sounds like that MOB has unrealistic expectations. Might be a good idea to pass on that job.

There was a reason coin replaced barter.

After a bit of introspection, I decided to post a graphic of the tartan in question. It's a Menzies tartan. And since they have a dozen or so to choose from (several are quite handsome), perhaps none of them & their ilk will take too much offense for me to call this one ugly. The dominant color is called 'mauve'. At best, I'd describe it as non-masculine.

Here 'tis. What man with red blood coursing through his veins would wear a kilt sewn from this? Sure as hell not this bubba.

I recognize that tartan! It's not that bad....

I just can't remember if it's the lid for Welch's or Smucker's Grape jelly.

God I hope there is an open Bar!

Heed those instincts, and recall the words of the cynic Diogenes:

"The MOB is the mother of tyrants.”
