No, you charge a fair bit to do the butchering operation, and hire a

I have a fraternity brother who built a rather successful consulting
engineering business.

We were having lunch one day when he told me he was going to fold up
the business.

I asked him "Why".

His answer, "I'm getting tired of having to take everybody to the
