[TheForge] Re: Blacksmiths and UtiliKilts/ Ries

[Dann Johnson]

Ries.. 

The Kilt Sales Fellows  at a recent Ren Faire were telling about a plumbing 
company that had all their guys dressed in UtiliKilts.  I think that he said 
that they even had a kilt wearing plumber on the business card.  People 
remembered them and word of mouth was so good that they were having to turn 
away business. 

I imagine you being in an upscale market had doing the final installation of 
a blacksmith project wearing your kilt. 

<grins> Maybe that work a lot better in San Francisco than Po Dunk, Iowa. 

For 3 days I made rope next to the Kilt stand.. so I about memorized all 
their sales pitches.
