If you look at the shocked gif, the eyes get bigger than the mouth...those widgets have the mouth bigger than the eyes...

You should make some the other way and see if the customer notices. :P

They look nothing like the original bottle opener. Oh wait, my bad.  :D
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

I told you to send me an address and I'd give you one but you blew me off.

Your taunts mean nothing to me now :)

Comes a time
When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe

Well, had some excitement recently.

Got a call from our bank.

Bank - We have a gentleman here wanting to cash a check and we need to confirm it's not fraud.

ML - what's his name and how much?

Bank - Stealy McStealerson, about $3000

ML - I don't know anyone by that name. You should call my wife, she does payables.

Bank calls wife, can't get her. Calls me back - We need an answer.

ML - ask him what it was for?

Bank - Ok, hang on...

Bank is then able to get my wife. - Sir, we got your wife and she said it's fradulent.

ML - release the hounds.

They were able to keep him there, stalling, until the local PD came and arrested him.

I went to the branch and thanked the lady that red flagged all this.

A couple days later I called and got the detective assigned to the case.

Unknown/unnamed men enlisted a homeless man with ID, and printed a check from the back of a rental vehicle with my account and routing numbers. They offered him $100 to try and cash it.

What they had done was take all the mail out of one of my vendors mailbox. We had sent them a check for some weld work they did for me.

They just used our numbers in their print job and gave it a shot.

ML - so what happens to this guy?

Detective - Fine, not likely any jail time.

ML- Death penalty not on the table, huh?

Detective - laughs

Man I hate thieves.
