| I don't remember the precise circumstances but as I tell it'll come back to me.
I started out at a Mita dealer, and we sold mostly 15cpm tabletop machines. This was ~ 1991. I was setting up two new Mita DC1435s, and had a Mita DC131 partially disassembled. All three were lined up on one of those wheeled collapsible carts that the salesman use. The DC131 weighs at least as much as the other two machines combined.
As usual, the salesman was pushing to have his machines done first ("I've got to leave in 15 minutes. Will the machines be ready? No?..."). So I rush through the setups. The salesman is trying to take the machines while the test copies are still coming out. I turn my back for a moment then when I look back, the first 1435 is in the salesman's car and he's taking the second one.
In slow motion I see the cart tip, then crash to the concrete floor with the DC131 on it. What do you suppose the salesman says? "Why did you do that?!" =^..^= |
