Well, I guess it's a matter of background and
perspective as well as a matter of what you're
doing.

I would take a long hard look at someone who came
into my home who proposed to do a complete
rebuild and refinish of my grand piano if he was
wearing a suit and tie.  I mean, really, folks. 
I would not feel comfortable even discussing the
intricacies of rebuilding and refinishing with
someone who gave the appearance that he never got
his hands (or any other part of him for that
matter) dirty.  

Excuse me all to pieces, but I wanna talk to the
guy in the back of the shop, the one who's
covered with dirt or sawdust or paint from head
to toe.  THAT'S the guy I wanna talk to.  After
all, HE'S the one doing the WORK!! Keep your suit
and tie.  Keep your fancy shoes.  I ain't got
time for 'em.  

And my money ain't got time for 'em either!!!

P.S.  I was a janitor for 17 years.  Best money
I've ever earned in my life.  Just got tired of
the work.  Never wore a uniform of any kind
either.  

Geez...  Sorry I even mentioned it.
