    Stroll in with a 5k Italian suit, "work" for 3 hours while booking your next trip to the Caribbean. Bang a few hotties in Marketing then get in the Porsche and head home to your mansion to your trophy wife kids and "nanny". Bill for a few grand.

      I say “No, it’s not, you know how unreliable Alfas are”

      ...I mean, it’s not little, but he was happy that I had some clapped out old banger.

            For me the right contractor attitude is;
            Indolent
            Self Important
            Know it all
            Never wrong
            Money Grasping
            Godlike

            I strive to maintain the above at all times
            Confusion is a natural state of being

                      I was starting to think you'd joined the great bench in the sky.
