π are not square. π are round.
 
The door is a jar
 
You're welcome! Thanks to y'all for sharing :) If it wasn't for this site I'd never look as cool as I do ;)
 
there's ways to use your work time to make money, and ways to just work....
 
You guys are so funny!!!

I was actually going to guess that the total would be something over 7,000 because about 2 years ago a gal in my hosp. cluster had a girl at a show that ordered 1 of almost everything in the catalog. She was a young gal just built a new house and had nothing to put in it. Now keep in mind this young gal had a ton of money (and not a clue as to what to do with it all) from being an heir to one of the casinos here in MN.

must be nice hugh?

One of my customers at one of my recent shows stumped me with a question that I never considered, because, in the overall scheme of things, it never seemed really important. Frankly, I still don't think it's too big a deal but it would make an interesting trivia answer.

"If I were to write you a check tonight," the customer asked, "For one of everything in the catalog, how big a check would I have to write?"

I dunno. Do any of you know?


You guys have put too much work into this.:rolleyes:

... and I can't believe that TKG missed this one:eek:

.... and he usually catches ALL of these:p

The question was ------


how big a check would I have to write?


TKG should have simply answered :






2 3/4" x 6" ...... no 'bigger' than anyones else's check !! :D :D

You're welcome. Thanks for the compliment.

I've had that for a couple of years now. I just update it when the new and discontinued products are announced.

Hey! Wait a minute! I hijacked my own thread? How did that happen?
 
That's what happens when it's more than 1 page of replies.... you lose track of who started it.

Does your post (immediately above) count as a hijack of the rehijack of your own thread?
