From Not Always Right: They Didn’t Even Offer To Pay You Livestock?! Fools!
Client: “That logo looks awesome, thanks! We’re going to go with that design.”
Me: “Great. I’ll put the high-res files on a CD and drop it off at your office this afternoon, and you can write me a cheque for payment.”
Client: “Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that. We think that instead of ‘traditional’ payment, we would like to put you on the Barter System.”
Me: “But you agreed to my costs weeks ago.”
Client: “Wouldn’t you like a new TV, instead? We could get you one. Or maybe one of our other suppliers could fix your guttering or something?”
Me: “I already have a TV; a new one isn’t going to feed my family. I think I’ll take a cheque as agreed.”
Client: “But the Barter System has been around, like, forever. You scratch my back; I scratch yours.”
Me: “Maybe I should try this Barter System. Tell you what. Instead of paying me, you can come around to my house and cook me dinner every night for a month.”
Client: “…”
Me: “Hello?”
Client: “So, how much do I make the cheque out for?”

I could give Rory my address….. Tax Day tomorrow here in the U.S. shows how easily they reach into my pocket and take whatever they want.

The fool lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500, USA – only it isn’t “his” money.
