that the 3 greatest words in the English language are "I love you". I think the three greatest words are "out for delivery". Who's with me on this? :D
 
it is great
or
I love it
or
I am impressed

all indicate the customer is happy and satisfied :-)
 
Who are these people who say all of these things? Especially the ones who say "I'll take it" after you say "that will be $1000?" :confused::D
 
People with more money than sense.

The Woodshop I worked at had a lot of clients from the Pacific palisades which has not only my highschool, but is the first or second wealthiest neighborhood in the U.S. We had a maple burl slab, easily 20 feet by 5 feet by 4 inches thick. It was listed for 7,500. We had a woman come in and ask for it to be made into a table. We put another 1500 dollars of work into it and she pays us BEFORE the work starts. 2 weeks later, its done and we call her.

She never picks it up. A a month or so later I was clearing out the inventory and called her. This is how the conversation went

Me: "Hello Mrs._________ its Ben from House of Hardwood, we have your slab table"

Her: "O yes! Sorry about that, I had forgoten about that house. I'll send someone over"


Turns out the table was for her 12th house. Some people.
 
"here it is " ,after you promised it in 4 weeks and delivered in two !
 
Three greatest words you say....

"Temporary Assigned Duty"

Also known as..."Traveling Around Drunk". :)

Other favorites...on the range, "Range Is Hot!"
