Sales meeting

Being that's it Saturday.........It was early 1970s and our business was in the doldrums. The sales manager decided to call a Saturday meeting to get us to focus. Joe D. was a tall ex-Marine with an agressive manner and guys who were on the road all week had to leave their families and fly to New Jersey for this woodshed session. He got our attention but hardly raised our morale. During a break in the morning's session, while the room was empty, I wrote on the blackboard "On the sabbath day, God rested." When Big Joe re-entered the room he wrote under my phrase "Only after HE made his quota"! Semper Fi, Joe.
