Maybe the problem is extending credit to liberals.
Mebbe put in a li'l questionaire as part of the credit app:
Do you believe in Prayer in school?
Ebonics?
God?
Bush?
Death Penalty?
Or, if Cliff had any input, WMD's?
Or, require a written paragraph: Printed, or scrawled, w/ at least 5
grammatical errors, instant credit.
Typed w/ no grammatical errors, instant denial.

Gunner,
A couple of quick suggestions. Every time you post here, call one of the
people that owe you. Be pleasant, but ask for your money every time.
Always ask for a date when you'll get your money. Always call back. If
you call as often as you post you have anyone owing you money. If all you
get is a secretary be VERY polite. Engage in pleasant conversation, and
always mention why you are calling. If you really hate doing this, hire
someone pleasant to keep calling and calling. Pay them for how much they
collect. You can be out working while a stay at home mom nags your
no-paying customers!

I hate collecting money too. My solution was to never extend credit.
Funny thing, as much as I hated collecting money I had no trouble telling
you up front that I am not a bank and can't make loans. Yeah, every now
and then this policy lost a sale. I just figured that anyone who couldn't
abide by my terms up front wouldn't have any qualms about stiffing me
after they got what they want.

I used to deliver machines with the keyboard removed. Then I sent you the
keyboard via UPS COD for the balance due on the entire machine. UPS would
come back 3 times to deliver the package and get the COD. If you didn't
accept it they would bring it back to me, wasting more of your time. One
a machine is in a customers place they get surprisingly anxious to get it
working. UPS charged like $10 to pick up a $10,000 check. Trucking
company CODs wanted a PERCENTAGE of the COD. Then they took as long as 3
weeks to get the check back to you. With UPS I had the check 2 days after
the delivery, every time.
