Wild Wild West

I've just realized why it is allowed in this country to own a weapon. The reason is you cannot really trust anybody nor anything. On the other hand if you hold a gun to the forehead of your 'partner' in the 'negotiation' that might help making him stick to his words or written agreement.

For legal reasons I need to emphasize, that this is my pure assumption and I never prove it by actually conducting an act like that!

My recent experiences taught me that if you sign a lease agreement it is only a bonding contract for you and not for lets say a Ford car dealership. I had to sign 3 contracts and cancel the first two to get through my recent car deal. And it is all because someone made a mistake and assumed that I get the credit they thought I'll get. Unlike the Dodge dealership, where their assumption was correct, and I didn't get the car before they went through the proper channels and finalized all the aspects. But I did feel I made a good deal in the end with Ford. They've lowered my overall price by 4-5k and the total I'll be paying for the car is 8k less than originally. So I'm happy!

The other thing I learned recently that certain professionals in a specific management role are required to major and minor in "Art and Science of Bullshitting People". And they are also required to grow eel skin and lose their bones in order to become slippery and limp.

Gentleman's agreement?! That's only for us, Europeans...
