Barry always had the funniest sayings. Since he was a salesman, most of them related to how he would answer customers and communicate how his day had been. If he approached a customer to help them he would ask them how they were. When they asked them he would say, "I'm great! In fact, I'm at the peak of perfection."
ReplyDeleteIf he had a busy day he would tell you that he was busier than a one arm paper hanger or that he was up to his a$$ in alligators.
