[quote=Spaceman Spiff]I saw a Mexican yard worker wearing an EDJ baseball cap one day while I was out doorknocking.  I almost handed him a business card.  You never know.

  I have a story about a guy I talked to one day while out doorknocking. He was trimming bushes at a house I would call an estate. I started talking to him and discovered he was doing yard work for the Dr that owned the place. He was very down to earth and told me how the company he worked for had moved from the U.S. and left him jobless at the age of 52.  Everytime I would see him around town we would make small talk and I really enjoyed talking to the guy. One day he came into my office to ask about cd rates. It turned out he had a $100,000 cd coming due at a local bank. To make a long story short over the next year and 1/2 he brought me over 3.5 million dollars. He drives a 15 yr old car and no one but me even has a clue that this handyman has this kind of money. I really think the Dr he works for thinks he is helping this guy just get by. Oh by the way if you see him doing yardwork he may have on a Jones hat or t-shirt and you may think he is a homeless person.[/quote]   ...I think I saw the movie...

That is just classic!  Great thought on the eddie-bay site.  I could finally figure out where to put that bulls vs bears pacesetters award and all those stupid plaques…I still remember my wife saying “they gave you a shovel as an award… doesn’t that tell you something?”

we’ve been tearing the old Eddie pictures apart and putting nice pictures in them. Why waste the frames and matting? As for the plaques…useless. Our only hope to to get this website up and running, and then have an innovative person figure out how to change the names so some Eddie can buy and display without ever having to do anything.

Brian 1960-

With you being a child of the 60's, no doubt you recognize that your need for exaggeration is very extensive. Is the person that gave you 3.5m dollars is a real person?...you see... so many of us don't believe you. Why? Because Eddie doesn't have 3.5m dollar clients. Not in the rural areas, and not in the urban areas. It's so rare for them---way too rare for you to have one...and here's the real reason you are not believable....you couldn't possibly attract that person. You're dumb. Really! Brian....you are a titty baby....it's easy to see from your writings. You couldn't possibly have that client. Sorry....I call foul, and totally don't believe you.

I took all of mine to a state mental facility--true story--they were glad to have pullover s/s shirts -- they needed them and I wanted to get rid of them!

I heard that story from a GP in Suckcess room 3 in 1999. I was back for segment 2 training.

I have no reason to make up a story to a bunch of losers like you and I'll be sure to tell my client that he MUST be the only E.J. client with 3.5 million.  He will get a laugh out of it because he is more than comfortable with the service he gets from me.   The only reason you can call me dumb is for coming to this useless forum to communicate with monkeys.  I'll see you morons in the funny papers and if your intentions are to run new people off your Jones bashing site you win. I have no reason to come back here.   Have a nice life and GET TO WORK!

…apparently someone got one too many calls about Countrywide bonds today…

I love when my old clients call me to ask about their Countrywide bonds…the new guy offered to trade those for CIT bonds…classic…Luv you EDJ’s…
