Won't take long and they'll be thinking twice before they flush the damn toilet. David Love David, I've had penalty system for years now,although the dollar amounts are much more modest.. I preface this by saying that when my client is noisy I politely mention that I'm having trouble hearing and with rare exception they quiet down. For example, if the T.V. is on I request that they turn the volume down and they always turn it off. Now for the fun stuff, Serving me instant coffee----$2.00 Junk on the piano (This varies with my mood and whether I'm served the aforementioned instant coffee $2.00 Any explaination to my question "When was the last time the piano was serviced?" That entails a complete family history including details of uncle Henry's colostomy that made him unable to sit on the piano bench $2.00 Any combination of the following anecdotes : I thought all piano tuners were blind My grandmother had a baby grand and she gave it away My dad and brothers smashed up our old upright Our old upright was never tuned and always sounded great The lady who owned this piano was a concert pianist (Winter spinet) The movers said this is the heaviest piano they ever moved (Winter spinet ) $2.00 $2.00 My husband has the checkbook ,Can we mail it to you $5.00 (sometimes hard to extract if they already have the invoice) My list can be expanded to include other violations as required. All penalty $'s contributed to either the local food pantry or Starbucks (not necessarily in that order) Tom Driscoll ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
