    3. What's a job? Just Over Broke. Nope, no thanks.

    Just say, "Could you please stand on the other side of me? I'm afraid if I'm downwind of you, your mediocrity could blow onto me." :D

    I was getting my haircut today and talking to the lady while she was cutting my hair. I eventually told her I wanted to start REI she said "That's a terrible idea the market is horrible". I just silently sat in my chair and remembered she was cutting my hair, and making a living off $10 hair cuts.

    No offense to anyone who enjoys cutting hair...

    I know what you are saying... And good for you for being so polite and biting your lip…

    A little observation though... I can’t remember the last time I paid $10 for a haircut... Maybe in 1993 or 1994…

    Moral of the story… Don’t take advice from someone who doesn’t know or understand what it is that you do… And be nice to the guy with the $10 haircut, because he is a nice guy too!

    No offense to anyone with a $10 haircut...

    :D

    "You don't have a job." Got this one today.....as if it's supposed to insult me... :lol: Every one of my tenants has jobs and better credit reports than me. :beer:

    "You buy cheap houses." Again....as if it's supposed to insult me.... :lol:

    "The seller will never accept that."

    "Aren't you afraid...." Fill in the blank.

    Just examples of how uneducated individuals believe the news and media with out researching.

    Hey, and if I could find some one who would give me a decent $10 hair cut why would I pay $50 for one!! I never seem to leave the salon for less than $100. As far as I am concerned the $10 hair cut guy is $90 up on me. :wink:

    You can't do that, that's illegal (from knucklehead lawyers, Realtors, and uneducated investors)

    Haha, Here in Gainesville, FL, the best guy in town cuts hair at $8.95. I've been to most everyone and still get the best hair cut from Randy.

    People who think they understand what you do start saying:

    "Where do you find these deals?..."

    Followed by:

    "I suppose you got this one for a song..."

    Followed by:

    "Hmmm, this looks pretty easy........"
