Appreciate the kudos. It's nice to hear comments like this.
Now just come on by and I can give you that 75% discount. We'll talk on the 24th in OAK.

Then again there are those "volume shippers" that just love FedEx too and we have quite a few of those in our area, i.e. Genentech has been shipping their product (and I mean the drugs themselves) via FedEx for more than 10 years now. I've seen their discounts on their end of the day FedEx report and it's amazing what they get !
I should know, that's been the route I've been taking care of for 8 years.

I haven't noticed any stripper poles or love-sacs... There has always been at least one hot chick in the store though... just today we had one chick come up and order up some business cards... the best part is... she is a stripper... i think we might accidentally make a few extras of those cards...
