RE: It always makes me wonder...

Several years ago, a clerk in a Wolf camera store wouldn't let me see a Leica; 
said it was for "serious" buyers only.
I have no idea how he knew I wasn't a serious buyer, but I didn't press him; 
wish now I had.
Not all books can be judged by their covers, or so I've heard.
 
Great shots from Ireland, Sonny, keep'em coming.

We were at a family reunion in Arkansas, and "the guys"  made a field trip to a 
nearby town to check out the pawnshops.  We spotted a music store, and stopped 
in. My brother in law, an R&D engineer for a major computer company,  our 
collective five sons and me, all dressed rather casually, Five of the group 
were musicians.Adam asked the clerk about a copy of a Paul McCartney bass.  The 
guy sez, "You can't afford it."I turned to  the guy and said,  "I could pay 
cash,  but I'm not going to reward you with a sale." Three years later, the 
bass was still in the store.SonC, (who dresses very casually most of the time)

Yes, indeed.  I had a customer in my store once that I thought didn't have two 
nickels to rub together from the way he was dressed. Turned out he was a very 
rich man and bought a very expensive bike from me.  Clothes may make the man 
but not necessarily indicate the bank account.  Heck just remember Jed 
Clampett.  :-)Dave----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Barbour"
