Well, this is definitely me.

People who brag about fashion GMG.

Save your money. Buy a boat!

You know when you're not even fully in your front door after a day of work, and you get ambushed by someone else's recent *****y experiences at a rapid-fire rate? That's grinding my gears right now.

Haven't you posted how ugly and hairy you are though? I distinctly remember you saying what a fat slob you are.

Shoes are good though.

Overweight does not equal slob but I'm Matthew Phillips size so what do I know though.

[FormerPresJamesTaylor]

As long as we cleared that up

I like to imagine him as a slightly less attractive Danny Devito rocking Nike ACG.

LOL yup.

In the car business, usually the guy wearing the $1500 suit and freshly polished shoes is the bottom of the totem pole. The guy wearing Khakis, a golf shirt, snow boots and a toque is the guy that's there to do business, while suit guy is admiring his reflection in his iphone plucking his eyebrows before he hits up the payday loan place after work to cover his rent.

My top salesmen dress so casual, I actually had to tell them to at least dress as you would on a Friday 10 years ago. Either way, they out earn everyone by a factor of 3, and you could honestly mistake either one of them as the Janitor.

I'm the same, Golf shirt, Khakis, a pair of decent shoes and tie the hair back. I always thought it was a bad look to be dressed better than your customers. It comes off as pretentious, and they also assume you are making way to much money.

I haven't had a haircut since they shut down hair salons at the beginning of Covid. I think I'm going on just over 2 years now?? So yeah, it's either a ponytail or I look like Gene Simmons. I have that thick frizzy Jew long hair.

I let the beard go to epic proportions too.

No joke, I was just at Jewish funeral last week. 2 old ladies at the Synagogue asked me if I was the Rabbi while we were standing outside chatting with the family. My parents thought it was pretty funny.

[FormerPresJamesTaylor]

Being at a Jewish Funeral does not sound funny, especially with Kanye in the news lately. Let's try to be better.

That's why I started it with "No Joke" as it wasn't a joke.

And I also happen to be Jewish.

I think you totally missed the point of his post.

The funeral wasn’t funny, the interaction was.

Also, I knew Pylon was Jewish.
