If you don't mind, allow me to share a somewhat humorous incident. A few years ago I hopped into my pickup truck and headed for Alaska. I wanted to get a set of rubber floor mats to protect the carpet in the cab. Being down here in the big city, the dealers only carried the posh carpeted mats. I figured that the closer I got to Alaska the greater my chance of getting the more practical rubber mats. I found a dealership in the Yukon territory that had rubber mats, and asked to see a set that would match the color of the truck's interior. It looked like it might, the guy gave me the price, and I asked to take the mats outside to see if the color match was acceptable, which it was, although not perfect.
When I returned to complete the transaction, the sales person asked if the match was OK, and I replied "Close enough for government work." Without cracking a smile or missing a beat, the guy said, "Oh, you should have told me you're with the government. You qualify for a 25% discount." Gotta love those Canadians, eh ;-)) Shel > [Original Message] > From: Jim King > > So much for memory <LOL> Although I was reasonably close > > - what do they say, Close enough for government work <LOL> > > Did I at least get the time frame right? > > Yep, the check was dated June 29, 2005 - certainly better than a lot > of government work, in my experience! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
