The owner of the company came up with the brilliant idea that, since men vastly outnumbered women in our client base, we needed to find something that would appeal to the distaff customer. So he suggested a pink tool kit. Not just any tool kit, but one with very high quality, superbly built tools. The handles, body casings, and carrying case were all pink. And thus they were offered for sale. And thus they didn't sell. I still have my kit, purchased for a buck. Great buy--fifteen years later the tools are still wonderful, and the screws, nails, et al in my house are fortunately color-blind.

Another turkey, now a hot collectable. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net at leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jshul=comcast.net at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Ted Grant Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2009 9:39 AM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica in white Good morning Crew, I'll go along with the freedom of voicing our opinions on what appears as one more stupid move by Leica during the past decade. But if the world gave Oscars for sheer utter stupidity it would definitely be Leica, it's owner and marketing staff for this moronic offering. But the very sad part of it is.. "We are wasting OUR most valuable time tapping keys throwing away our precious lifetime hours regarding this asinine concept. I'd rather see the days with everybody shooting Friday Flowers than this utter drivel about Leica and it's dead brained collection of mental midget fools! One would think by now, we'd have learned any announcements regarding Leica would immediately be deleted because we already know it's going to be another dumb ass concept! But then we Leica lovers are known for our faithfulness in being beaten with a .. "Your choice!" An early morning thought as the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.. probably a good thing! :-) Dr. ted. org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
