Why is there a Harp in the grocery store?
"Hi Dan. Maybe the 5 answers reflect the fact that the grocery store employees have a hard, thankless, Low-Paying job. Maybe that makes them develop a passive-aggressive attitude about inane questions like: "Why is there a harp in the store?" I'm quite sure this is why the baggers always sabotage bagging the groceries - to take out their passive-aggressive frustrations out on the customer (because they hate their job). Did you expect a cheerfully rehearsed speech on the boss' reason for the harp?- and that assumes that the boss even mentioned the reasoning to the employees - the ol' "need to know" bit bosses love so much.

"Hi Dave. "Undisclosed Recipient"? I'd report that as spam just on the face of it, w/o opening it for fear it contained a virus. I got an unsolicited catalog from a large Music store - 'turns out they'd assigned me a "$ales Engineer". The very sound of it is mercenary. I talked to him once - he'd been briefed on lots of crummy tactics in their "engineering" training sessions, one of which was to try to distract me (when I asked an "uncomfortable" question) by changing the subject. I got him back on subject. His next ploy was to try to use lots of technical terms -either to dazzle me w/his knowledge, or confuse me (once again, I had to get him back on target).

"Hi Jorge. Maybe you're underestimating your friends - especially FB "friends" you don't actually know personally. If I understood you correctly, you're saying that you already know everything/anything these people might say or think - that you can predict their thoughts, feelings, and reactions to the extent that they don't offer anything exciting - or even of value. That would constitute under-estimation in my book. My FB "friends" constantly come up with stuff I'd never think of. Duncan"Clever release names for creative developers
"Hi John. This is an idea borrowed from WWII aircraft manufacturers. Just a few from the United States: Grumman's F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, F7F Tigercat, F8F Bearcat, F9F Panther, F9F Cougar (a Panther with swept wings), F-11 Tiger, F-14 Tomcat, Republic's P-47 Thunderbolt ("Jug"), F-84 Thunderjet, F-84F Thunderstreak (an F-84 w/swept wings), and F-105 Thunderchief ("Thud"), the Vought F4U Corsair, F6U Pirate, F7U Cutlass, and F-8 Crusader, McDonnell's FH-2 Banshee, F3H Demon, F-101 Voodoo, and F-4 Phantom II of Vietnam, Lockheed's P-38 Lightning, P-80 Shooting Star, F-94 Starfire, F-104 Starfighter (the "Missile w/a Man in it"), the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, B-29 Super Fortress, B-47 Stratojet, and B-52 Stratofortress ("BUFF") to name just a few. The Brits excelled at this, as did the Japanese (not the Germans or Soviets, preferring numbers). Duncan"Why a Little Paranoia in Online Reputation Management & Brand Monitoring is a Good Thing
"Great, Adam! I think the poster boy for #1 is Richard Jewel - the initial suspect in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing. He was "suspiciously" 1st at the scene helping people (doing his job as a security guard). And, he was "caught" having duct tape & some plumbing pipes in his dwelling, making him the FBI's prime suspect. For #2 I will add that I won't believe any reviews at all (good or bad) until only verified customers are able to leave them. Duncan"Subscribe
