I thought it was about my customers' wait time for window frames to be redone

A number of years ago I read that the high incidence of lung cancer in non-smoking Chinese women came from wok cooking.

The Shang Woks were around long before the Cens went out of biz...I saw them on Alibi Baba before our deal went down...

That's why you don't smoke in the house.

What tipped you off. The tons of motorcycle parts and one wok in the sellers store?

Not all people, some of us have common sense!

Well with my sale I got 3 for free and put a Benjamin in my pocket for my trouble.

I was thinking of buying several just for resale but I didn't want my friend to struggle with them. It was more difficult than you know to have had these made for us. I have the two, small for me personally, large for when friends come over.

Probably not many here, though. This is a Porsche site, you know.

Ted, I want to personally congratulate you for being right. First time and fairly momentous. Congratulations!

Devaluing craftsmanship is how the U.S. single-handedly built the Chinese economy, shipping jobs overseas and developing our own service economy with low paying jobs where people themselves are devalued. At least with low wages we can still buy cheap Chinese junk. So it's a win for everyone.

Greed has won out over craftsmanship.
