It was actually part of a holistic defence strategy to explain how he'd been caught with a snorkel and flippers in serveral homeowners septic tanks without their prior knowledge or consent. You give someone a quote for a job > and list a brief summary of the work involved, do you tell them *everything* > you do and don't do as part of that? considering it's all imaginary, the imaginary quote didn't need to cover imaginary work performed, only real work. so a blank invoice maybe? I bet that Oz has empty showcases at home, even a trophy room full of uch shelves and cases. All of them empty, showcasing his current achievements. -- John McKenzie tosspam(a)aol.com abuse(a)yahoo.com abuse(a)hotmail.com abuse(a)earthlink.com abuse(a)aol.com vice.president(a)whitehouse.gov president(a)whitehouse.gov sweep.day(a)accc.gov.au uce(a)ftc.gov admin(a)loopback abuse(a)iprimus.com.au $LOGIN(a)localhost I knew Sanchez before they were dirty root(a)mailloop.com $USER@$HOST $LOGNAME(a)localhost -h1024(a)localhost abuse(a)msn.com abuse(a)federalpolice.gov.au fraudinfo(a)psinet.com abuse(a)asio.gov.au $USER(a)localhost abuse(a)sprint.com abuse(a)fbi.gov abuse(a)cia.gov

He refused to pay it and I said well I'm not going to because I didn't request it and was never informed it was happening. In the end it got torn up. -- Posted at www.usenet.com.au

I don't know about these days, but every car that came in for a first service in those days got a "free" oil & filter change, with the "free bit" being the labour. The oil was marked up at around 800%. > All the customer sees is "free", so unless you are willing to do it for > free nobody is interested especially if the coupon makes no mention of it. Times have changed then. -- Regards, Noddy.
