A Sign for Dennis

[Mojo]

My wife was shopping at Hobby Lobby yesterday and brought me home a sign. The first person I thought of was Dennis.

" Service May Vary  -  According to my Mood and Your Attitude ".

I am putting it up in my shop but since I rarely get walk in customers few will see it. Still I really liked it. I think you need to head over to Hobby Lobby and pick one up Dennis. :)

Years ago I grabbed a sign at a craft/farmer's market on the harbourfront that always makes me smile. It reads;

" A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part"

My favourite was the guy who came in during ice out [when I was so busy that I lived in the shop] and was firmly convinced that his boat windows should be bumped up the queue because " he had had them in the basement all winter and meant to bring them in".

I used to work with a guy who was a former Navy pilot.   He quoted the P^7 rule:

Proper prior planning prevents piss-poor performance.

Steven Covey talked about the quadrants

Interesting that when you saw that sign, you thought to yourself "Who is the surliest old bastard on the forum that I could suggest this for?"

I've often thought about fixing a sign that says:

THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT........UNLESS THEY'RE WRONG (which is most of the time)

When Bob & I started living together some 34 years ago, he had a sign in his bedroom:

"Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to those of us who do."

I worked with a full bird on Ft Leavenworth who had 2 I loved:

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

My favorite was:

"You can't hit a moving target."

I used to listen to a show on the radio and they guy always said,
"The customer is not always right, but they are the customer."

I always thought of adding, "...unless you don't want them as a customer."

These 2 signs hung in my grandparent's upholstery shop 50 years ago.
They still hang in my shop today (along with a couple of those old antique fire bottles)

They would think some guy named Pettish did upholstery.

I have never been able to figure out why I know all the lyrics to the song Signs, by the Five Man Electrical Band. (1970). I never made an attempt to learn the lyrics. I never particularly liked that song, at least not in my top 25. But, I do to this day know all the lyrics.

And yes, Darren, I know they are from Canada.
