You don't want these kids to feel intimidated or threatened.
You want to get it out of their head.
I says, okay.
So he takes me over and he shows me a big cardboard box that's on the floor at the bottom of the rack.
And in the box are a bunch of plungers.
We got stopped up to out.
He said, you put your hand in that box, you think you were in a coal mine.
You come out black.
I said, what?
He said, nobody sees the plungers.
Now, think of this.
You don't wake up on a Saturday morning and say, Andy, let's go to Home Depot and buy a plunger.
It's three o'clock in the morning.
The toilet stopped up and you haven't got a plunger.
You get your ass to the Home Depot store as soon as it opens, you get the plunger.
So, back to the kid, I said, okay, what would you do?
He said, I'd get pipe hooks.
Like in a gun store, you know how they show guns on a wall?
And I put the plungers at the end of the thing on a rack.
Why don't you do it?
