More and more, sales reps are chosen not for their technical knowledge, and that is a waste of everyone's time. So I have been told, pharmecuticals are employing former cheerleaders. (I liked the bit about the light bulb supplier.....)
End of serious mode. Switching....switching..... Since this has turned, for me, into a silly type of day, I have no trouble with snake oil. How else can we lubricate our legless reptilian friends?
