1. I think they are going to be surprised and disappointed.
When I needed to do some home improvement, I saw the fish on a couple of ads in the Yellow Pages. Not being above a bit of hypocrisy myself, I thought I would call these people with the expectation that anyone advertising as a capital letters CHRISTIAN would be an honest businessman with a fair price. Boy was I wrong. This is not to say that all Christian or CHRISTIAN businessmen aren't honest or fair, simply that I found nothing superior in their presentation or price.

3. As Always, Let The Buyer Beware...
I've seen my share of hucksters who will prey on a specific group...both right and left. While I prefer to do business with companies that support Democrats and liberal/progressive causes, it still pays to do due dilligence.

4. I'm not proud when it comes to big money.
I'd be inclined to believe that a swastika tattoo was an unfortunate artifact of a misguided youth if the price for the driveway was $2000 less.

But seriously, I have worked with a lot of contractors who we here might collectively consider the enemy and there is a strange sort of tolerance amongst many of these people. It's kind of like having a neighbor who is a rabid Republican, but you and he are the only two people on the block who can call each other for help in a pinch.

7. I used to work for the Better Business Bureau ...
generating reports to be mailed to people requesting information.

One of the biggest crocks out there was "Jesus Is Lord Auto Sales". They racked up complaints like there was no tomorrow.

10. To quote the late, greaat William S. Burroughs...
"If you’re ever doing business with a religious son of a bitch, get it in writing. His word ain’t worth shit, not with the good lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal."

5. The great William S Burroughs gave very wise advice about that...
"If you're doing business with a religious son-of-a-bitch, get it in writing. His word isn't worth shit. Not with the good lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal"

14. Great minds!
Also, I would like to apologize to you for some insults that I hurled a few weeks ago. They were way out of line.
I am truly sorry.

6. LOL, I live in a relatively small town so I checked the closest big city that had any
thing to offer. It was FT Wayne Ind. and the only offering was for private detective services.

9. I'll bet you could get an STD simply by clicking on their adult services link.
And all the hookers are named "Annie" and have a big surprise for you.

13. I Wonder If All Adult Services Are Missionary...
:rofl:

Considering all the kinkiness we've seen out of the rushpublicans in recent years, I'm sure it's anything goes in there.
