Not to long later, there was this New York smart ass, that visited the resort I managed the sales of. This fast talking New York hot shot, turned out to be FDNY, on a well deserved leave of absence. I thanked him for being a hero, he gulped. With misty eyes, he said “Thanks and I ain’t buyin’ a damn thing”..LOL.
As typical for us and our sales effort, we had an afternoon brunch. The welcome brunch was two days after the encounter with this smart ass FDNY.
Mr. FDNY and his Mrs. showed, as I promised him, we wouldn’t sell nor make the attempt to sell him, a damn thing. Crowd at this brunch was full house. All were seated, I grabbed the microphone and announced to all, that WE had a hero in our midst. Mr. Smart Ass, got squirmy.
Indicating who he (and his Mrs.) was and what he did. The room erupted in cheers. Standing ovation and that ovation would not stop.
Mr. FDNY, with tears in his eyes came up to me and sputtered, “Thank You, You Bastard” (typical New Yorker, huh?). We laughed our asses off.
