Hmm. I reread my post to see if there was contempt expressed and saw
that maybe it might be read that way. Ooops. Was meant to be wryly
humorous, but I may have struck a wrong note. Oh, well.

In fact, turns out I enjoy talking to and BSing with customers more than
I imagined I might. I didn't mean to imply that fly shop dudes are in
need of a better class of customer, but rather that we all of us are
perhaps in need of a better class of aphorism.... even a better class of
cliché. g


I didn't take your post as contemptuous, but I might suggest that when
one asks the DJ to spin a little "Shakespeare or Ambrose Bierce or Oscar
Wilde or Mencken or de Rochefoucauld," one should be familiar with
same...
