    How to Have Relations with a Frame Rep

    Hello please. I very sad today because my boss, Sergei, he say he going to fire me because I leave a disease on our toilet bucket and now he have many itchings. I tell him, was no me, was frame rep from Luxinterior corporations--that man have many smells. Sergei no believe me. He say, I fired as soon as he find other Ukrainian ex-convict with optical skills who will work for organ meats.
    But I will not trouble you on my problems. This incident remind me to tell you how to deal on frame reps and take more moneys from your good relations.
    Borysko's Ten Tips for Having Good Relations on a Frame Rep
    1. Trust is first issue. I tell rep, "Do not try to pad on my order, frame gypsy. If you do this, I will eat your children."

    2. I call a frame rep and tell him, be at my office at six in the A to the M. Bring entire line please. I enter shop at nine and tell rep, I be with you shortly. At two in afternoon, I look on rep's collection and tell him, "Is very nice. I would like to buy one frame please." Rep then knows I very busy and very picky. He respect me for these.

    3. If rep is from Luxinterior corporation, I make a 2000-piece order. When order ready to be finalize, I say, "Lenscrafters can no more carry this line, correct? Is exclusive to me because I good customer." Many laughs then happen.

    4. Sometimes, I see frame rep man struggle with large, heavy bags (our shop is up three flights of stairs then down two). I laugh on him and say, "You are weak! You are like a women!"

    5. If frame rep is a women and she struggle with bags, I say, "I would help you, but carrying bags is work for women."

    6. I call Sean John rep to buy frames of popular Wrapper. I say, "Yo, American gangster, I be wanting to check the Sean John joints. Lemme hold twenny, yo. Wassup?" This actually not work so well, my Sean John rep is old Jewish man.

    7. When close to finalize order with frame rep, I tell him, "Yes, I would like all of these frames please. Is big order. Only thing I request is, please send all frames in 83 eye size. Ukrainian peoples, they like the big glasses."

    8. Many reps say they will manage the boards. I test this. I say, "Sergei get very drunk on horse-fluids last night and he make a puddle on our frame boards. Maybe you can 'manage' to clean up?"

    9. This tip not for relations, is how to get free frames. When rep in my store, my boss Sergei, he distract them with traditional Belarus Dance of the Underbelly. While rep make a sick, I take frames from his bag and rep no notice. Great success!

    10. Here best tip. Sergei say, we don't need to look on any reps. Tell them we call if we need frames. Is all on internets. He say, have rep call us when you manage to make two eyewires on same frame same size. He bitter, maybes.

    I hope these tips help you take more moneys. I would like to say thank you please to Steve because he help me come back online to you.
    I also say, I bought Fezz mask and wear it out at night, and now every bartender on East coast treat me like a royal. Great success!
    Please apologize to my poor english, and please hire me because I very unemployed.

    Borysko, I don't know who you are, but you are obviously wasting your talents. Do you need an agent?

    Most of the frame reps have been of the wrong gender to interest me in having a relationship with them. However there have been a few in younger days that met gender and other criteria that were very eager to make a sale.

    Continuu plees...

    Continuu plees......NOT!

    While this thread is within guidelines (so far), it is in very poor taste. If you wish to continue it, why not amuse yourselves by doing it using the private message system. This thread has no place in the General Discussion forum. It makes the author and those who are egging him on look considerably less than professional, and anything but funny.

    while it's not professional it is

    something that puts a smile on my face. I think we need more of that.

    Question If we can't have fun . . . .

    then why are we doing it?!? I respect your input Harry, but I like this much better than the knife fights that break out here periodically and go on for 20 plus pages. Now that's seriously unprofessional! The newspaper has the comics section and we've got this person. No harm, no foul as far as I can see.

    Just my two cents!

    :cheers:
