I was at the table with my employer and a couple of business people one night having a drink and one of the guys offered to buy out my boss... right there! We're talking a deal that had to be 18-19 million bucks. My boss called the guy crazy and said he wasn't interested in selling. The guy was bold, though, and said, "I'm going to write a figure on this napkin and you say yes or no." He writes the number, passes it over and my employer picks it up with a mild "harumph!" and procedes to look it over.

He looks at the napkin, then over at the business associate, back to the napkin. Long pause.... "Throw in your condo at Steamboat and we've got a deal!" Handshake, wild hoops and hollers, more drinks and off we go. I've got a new boss and my old one is skiing in Colorado.

Old School. This is Petar's world. He tosses this $6 million SAM bone to us on the end of his statement like it's some kind of sugar frosting on a nice wordy cupcake. He's absolutely as frustrated as we are about the financials. But in Petar's world, the financials are ALREADY done! "What's the big deal? I told you what we're making and it's true!" On to the next deal, eh? I doubt we'll hear from him until he shows up with a big azz baseball bat and knocks the shorts into the cheap seats in centerfield.
