The 80+ yr old "president" told me that "If you don't know when its time to cut your hair how can I trust you to know how top fix my machine?" It wasn't really THAT long; this was during the "mullet" phase of life!
One of the other bankers followed me out to my car apologizing profusely, telling me "he has good days and bad ones. He just needs to turn it over to his son".
I knew I'd be back because I was the only one for 200 miles who could fix that machine. And when I went back, I doubled the price.
