H (screen printer): Hey, John. I got a Mexican restaurant that wants a smiling pinata with the caption "I'd Hit That!" on a t-shirt they can sell to customers.
Me: What's the budget?
H: I can go as high as $75.
Me (with a YOU-GOTTA-BE-KIDDIN' face): WHAT!?
H (giving me the fish-eye...he knows me oh too well): You heard me.
Me: Uh....that's a little low....(time to pull a face...something that says I'm thinking it over like I'm trying to dissect a radioactive frog...) Okay, I'm in.
H: When can I see a pencil?
Me: Tomorrow.
