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"

Likely not even a hundred-aire!I met a guy who looked like that who turned out
to be a Nobel Laureate...the other guy I'd watch out for is Steve Wozniak,
inventor of the Apple computer...these guys can fool you,Steve
