How do I put this in a polite manner ?

A customer in the shop, blonde, female, attractive, married to a quite rich businessman, her expensive hobby is photography.

She comes in and looks at $2,000+ lens turns to me and says words similar to.

"Only 2 more Fellatio related incidents involving ingestion and that lens will be mine"

Thanks Birdy. Got it today in Hobart. They got 3 D200s last week from Maxwells. Now they have zero and I have 1.
It's play time. :D

Cheers

Good to see you have your D200 - I'm sure you will enjoy it. Good to see they are starting to finally trickle in from Maxwells :D

Cheers

My partner often encourages me to by photography equipment. But I have put my foot down! No new purchases this year! Oh, except for my studio lamps. :)
