MDDCIL: I've been thinking about getting a new car.
MDMIL: Oh yeah? What kind?
MDDCIL: An Audi TT. I went over Zumbach yesterday afternoon.
MDMIL: Really? What did you think?
MDDCIL: It was weird.
MDMIL: The car or the dealership?
MDDCIL: The car was nice, its the salesmen that kind of freaked me out.
MDMIL: What do you mean?
MDDCIL: Its like there are only two kinds of guys who sell cars: the 22 year old, type-A, go-getters and the 45 year old, bitter, hateful guys they will become if they stay in the business.
