Year 1943 Mr. Andersson got an idea. He decided to protect himself from unwanted direct mail. He set up a steel fortress without a street address and started taking turns looking out any suspicious mailmen. Poor Mr. Andersson went too far with isolating himself and got cut off from water supply. Ambulance arrived four days later.

I went to a meeting. Overly enthusiastic man came to greet me. I have an issue with overly enthusiastic men, so in my mind I grinned and put up a happy face. He led me into a conference room where few more men were waiting for us. All of these men were overly enthusiastic and they kept on talking about great ideas that they had.

TALKING
They talked some more and even asked me some questions, which I answered. Their conversation took an irrational turn and they started to talk about how they should do something, which I had no interest what so ever. I looked at their carpeting, wallpaper, hand-painted ceiling tin tiles (yes, tacky), view to opposing building’s wall, modern-looking coffee mugs, blue suits… then I was asked something and didn’t know what it was. “Can you be a little more specific, please?”, I asked to play some time. That time I put in good use and formulated an understandable answer. There was much rejoice and we shook hands.

I chose never to do business with those goons, as they would have been completely intolerable clients.
