If you don't know what I mean, it goes something like this: <br />ME: Do you have any questions about... <br />SHOW GO-ER: No... Well actually, I do have one question... <br />(At this point the brain app "keyword conversations" kicks in) <br />From then on all I hear is: Blah, blah, blah, HORSEPOWER, blah, blah, blah, MPG, blah, blah, SAFETY RATING, blah, blah, MSRP? <br />Yep, everyone basically asks the same things over and over again; and sometimes the noise level is so loud that any meaningful conversation points are lost in the vocal transference anyways. So, the best reply to any would-be conversation is to smile, nod, and spew forth the bile that the industry considers important in distinguishing the car model closest to you from the next one over. <br />Have a nice day... that means "leave". Don't stand there waiting for more pearls of wisdom, they ain't comin'.Rodhttp://www.autoblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694281951682950051.post-35021906577189423092010-04-02T00:44:36.174-04:002010-04-02T00:44:36.174-04:00Well, if she has enough money, maybe she really li...Well, if she has enough money, maybe she really lives near him in Bloomfield and he sent her to one of his stores. <br /><br />Successful people do have real lives and people actually know them.<br /><br />Do I know Roger Penske? Well, I've spoken with him a couple of times. <br /><br />Is it appropriate to drop names? Usually not, but if someone says, for example, that they think Bob Lutz is a BS artist, I don't think it's rude for me to say that I've spoken with him a few times and that's not the impression I have of him.<br /><br />Is it wrong for me to say that I once complimented Heidi Klum on her looks, not knowing who she was, and got a warm response? It's a nice story to tell, but who'd care if she was not a famous supermodel?<br /><br />I'm only one degree of separation from some pretty famous people, and you know what, they're people just like you and me. A mutual friend once asked Peter Himmelman what his father in law was like, and Peter said, "Bob's a good grandfather".Ronnie Schreiberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09354604639104958833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694281951682950051.post-34569050808146847332010-03-22T03:02:44.723-04:002010-03-22T03:02:44.723-04:00Obnoxious?

I've always thought that ...Obnoxious? Really?<br /><br />I've always thought that name droppers were the first string of real-life comic relief crew, only exceeded by know-it-all experts.
