Friggin' Salesmen!

Alright, What the hell is the matter with salesmen. I got a guy who doesn't know the difference between a panel/page/part, he recently asked me the difference between linescreen and DPI. Here's the kicker, when his customer asks if we can work with a PDF or EPS or PSD, he has no idea what they are talking about, even though this happens about once a month. But when he talks with his salesmen buddies about what kind of big screen TV he is buying they all know the difference between DLP and HD and DVD!!!

WTF!?!

True story. About a month ago our head salesman and the owner of the company were out deer hunting. (No, Dick Cheney wasn't with them) The owner sent the salesman up a tree to take down a deer stand. While trying to get it down the salesman falls out of the tree. Broke (shattered) his leg in several places. The owner made no attempt to catch him! 8O
