The world thrives on contracts and business's shell out gazillions to lawyers to draw up and peruse watertight contracts, from which they gain more revenue trying to sort out the leaks that shysters and vagabonds manage to poke with a stick.
In our time in business we have had all sorts of contracts, ranging from 64 page jaw dropping yawns cobbled together to pave the way for business growth and expansion, to employement contracts with Wanna Bee's to ensure they don't run us out of town after we have taught them the basics of the trade.
And we have had Honey contracts.
The best one we had was with an overseas buyer. An old mate once called the buyer a Scum Sucking Bottom Dweller, but we dealt with him for over twenty years and he never once reneged on his word. The only paperwork involved was when the monies were deposited into our account and the amount registered on the statement.
And the worst one ..... ?
I always do a back peddle when a salesman struts into my life, cocky as a peacock in designer jeans and pointed boots that have never kicked at Bee shist promising riches to fritter away on my vices.
One such Peacock came into our life a few months ago. Bought the entire crop in thirty seconds with promises of deposits and full and final payement by the thirty of the month.
Seems like Jimmy has'nt learnt nothing.
The deposit was reduced to a fraction due to 'tight times' and the thirtieth has been and gone several times and my frittered vice still sits gleaming and elusive behind the shop window in town.
Honey contracts eh ...... maybe I need to go buy a pair of Alligator skin boots for my next meeting !
