They hired an MBA who showed them how to save money and bull**** you about what great deal your getting. What they were attempting to do is, tell you to go hell and make you look forward to the trip. I watched an ad on TV where a guy claimed to have saved an olive producer 86,000$ by leaving one olive out of the jar. In no nonsense terms, he shorted the customer. He was so proud of himself, he was advertising his service. In a Ford boardroom, an MBA very seriously asked why a wheel needed five bolts to hold a wheel on, when one would do. His remarks were met with incredulous awe. Apparently, he demonstrated the acme of know nothing ignorance and stupidity to the wrong crowd. One WILL do the job. Problem being it might be more expensive than five. If it was a good solution, it seems like the Indy-500 racers would have went with it, because it sounds faster! Yeah, but the cost of those wire wheels will more than eat an extra 20 nuts and bolts .... -- "I'm the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo ..." |
