Yesterday I was out in the brewery (my garage) and a security systems salesman stopped by.
He was giving me his best speal and he happened to notice a couple of ribbons I had and asked me what they were for. I told him beer competition, he was dually impressed and continued with his sales pitch.
Of course being in the brewery I was appropriately dressed in my holey jeans, bleach spotted T-shirt and wearing my lucky brewing shoes (rotted old loafers that barely stay on my feet). When he finished his pitch he asked me if I would like to sign up for the system. I said, "Look at me, I can't afford shoes and I am so poor I have to make my own beer and you want me to buy your system.
Without a word he just turned and walked away. I almost felt sorry for him. I should have offered him a homebrew.
