    You can’t BS a BSer but what if the BS is so good it becomes the standard and no longer BS? Do you believe the original BSer? Are they even considered full of BS or some sort of savant?

    Remember campers, if you boys are sharing a bed, it is not pole to hole it is hole to hole.

    My entire business is marketing, which is BS.

    I exaggerate our results to get folks in the door. But we are really good at what we do; I'll put us against any of our competitors. And we never charge anything. We actually give our guys new leads. On our dime. But, I do tend to say the leads are better than they are. Which sucks. I'd love to find the golden ticket.

    It was half snarky...it takes real skill to sell a product with feature that technically isn't a reality yet. Or maybe imagine a use that no one thought they needed before.

    When it works and becomes a new market, it's called vision and even genius. Does it still matter how it began?

    In some ways, it's too simple to call it a lie. I sure as hell dont know how to describe a belief system or an oscar worthy performance, but it's more around those two than a plain ol fib.

    Also why i like that paper/book On Bullshit in my sig. We still can't accurately pin its qualities to this day.
