[Rhodes22-list] Mohammed, Prophet of Doom

[brad haslett]

Stan,

A thousand dollar tip?  I'm in the wrong profession.
That reminds me of a charter I flew 25 years ago.  We
hauled this "rich" dude and his trophy wife/concubine
to the Kentucky Derby and he tipped my co-pilot and me
$100 each.  We would have flown the trip for free just
to oogle his traveling partner.  Anyway, a few days
later his check for the trip bounced and we never
collected.  He sure knew how to put on a good show
though.

You're probably to the left side of nearly every cult
alright, but how do you justify selling your boats
above your cost?  Shouldn't you share your new $1000
as a rebate with all the previous buyers?

Sometimes Stan, I get the impression your whole
boat-building enterprise is just a greedy profit
scheme.
