Hello....and a funny thing happened while buying a used car

[Treebeard]

Hello ladies and gents. Longtime lurker (8+years), but first time poster. Proud Supporting Member however, because I appreciate everything that you all put in to the site. I learn plenty of things here, some of which I may not really want to know...!

Anyway, I finally have a reason to break down and post something. (And to avoid seeing "who's that guy?" for the upcoming birthday thread!)

Bought a used car a couple of weeks ago from one of the small independent lots here in Ocala. Small office, but the salesman (Bob) had an office with an inside window that has a nice etching of the Gator logo, about 2 feet wide. We were talking about it while working on the papers, and he told us this story:

A guy calls him about a maroon SUV posted on the website for the lot. Asks a few questions, and then says "hold on to it, I'll be there in the morning. I'm coming from Tallahassee, to get it for my mother. The next morning the guy walks in to pick up the car. He sees the Gator logo on the window and says "Are you a Gator fan?" Bob says yes. The guy puffs up and says "Well I am Sandy so-and-so, assistant athletic director at FSU. And I don't do business with Gator fans." He turns around and walks out.

The thought of that arrogant SOB trying to buy a used car for his mother - and making a 6 hour round trip from Tallahassee for nothing - brings a smile to my face!

Let the 'nole bashing commence...

Directions for that SOB to find his way back home.

noles gonna nole. Can't say I'm shocked. He's probably due for a promotion at that fine institution.

 

[t-gator]

I've been wondering about you, treebeard.

 

[Swamp Queen]

I hate everything about that $hithole town.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

I've been wondering about you, treebeard.

It takes him 8 years to say what he intends to say.

It takes him 8 years to say what he intends to say.

I'm sure he feels better

I wasn't aware Noles ever offered to pay when they shopped.

Prerty good example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

That FSU alum is so sensitive he needs a barf-bag to lick an air-mail stamp.

A 'Nole RVer called out to his 'Nole wife : "Hon, Bill and Mary are coming by for lunch. Better double
that recipe." … "I can't this oven doesn't go up to 700 degrees."

When an FSU grad names his newborn son after his father, he calls him Daddy.

What's the tragedy when you have a dozen FSU-grads at the beach buried up to their necks ?….
… a sand shortage.

I'd call any FSU-grad a pinhead but there's no point.

Should have offered him some crab legs to go with that vehicle. But then again he's probably pay in Ruffies.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Post more, Treebeard, even though we know it takes a longtime to say anything in Olde Entish.

 

[heavychevy]

poor fella knew he was going to have to negotiate with someone who could "work maths."

An Ent-tirely well Orc-estrated post, Tree.
