The old saying goes…”The squeaky wheel gets the oil.”  Hmmmm

Then there’s the other old saying which goes…. “You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.”

So which is it?  I guess it depends on whether you want the oil, or the flies. I tend to like oily flies…. so I use a combination of both tactics.

First, I start out with the honey vs. vinegar approach.  It normally does a pretty good job.  But sometimes, as nice as you are to folks, they will still screw up the task at hand, miserably, and expect you to fork over the dollars for the misery.  When this gets to be the case, you might hear me squeaking here and there.  AND…… If that fails, I start sounding like a freaking runaway freight train, coming to a screeching halt, on ice cold frozen metal tracks.   Squeaky becomes an understatement.

And there you have.  Woooooooo.  Wooooooo.  Chug-a-chugga… Chug-a-chugga… Chug-a-chugga…
