Bad-list Negotiator Gifts

'I'm negotiatin with Santa Claus the romval of my name from the bad childrens list.'

"And need I remind you, the 'art of the deal' is the lifeblood of this company."

"Tariffs love me...tariffs love me not..."

'Negotiations have reached an impasse, legal recommends we resort to violence.'

"Already sold your soul to the company? Listen, I'll have my people talk to their people."

"Have your people call my people."

'Even though you're the client, it's my duty to tell you you're wrong. . . Ok then. Speak slowly so I can write down your every whim.'

"Then he slammed the door on me!" "Not the closing you were hoping for."

'Credit being what it is, I'm sure you won't mind if we see your 200,000 cattle first...'

"And when the extended warranty kicks in, we send you a big can of new car smell."

"And keep in mind that the only stupid question is the one that isn't asked. Discussion?"

"I'm an expert in crisis management, I've got three daughters!"

"I'm glad to see we're all on the same page, but let's try not to tear it."

"The forty thousand dollars includes a rear view mirror!"

'And finally, on these wage demands I give no quarter; a dime is my last offer.'

"From now on we’ll no longer pay your trucking company for driving for us. We’d like to be paid by you because you’re allowed to transport our great products!"

"Ambitions . . . never, ever to eat broccoli again."

'Let's face it, we never got along. I'm just sorry it had to come to this.'

"Tough group."

'How'd the negotiations go? Take a wild guess.'

"Listen George, in exchange for two bricklayers and three electricians I can let you have one seasoned plumber and one first round graduate from trade school." "Mnnn. Okay. But, only if you throw in ten Porta Potties." "Ah, John. Can we make it two first round graduates?" "Done."

With Mort and Sadie so torn over what to see next Saturday night, they've ceased speaking. The parties have called in representatives. Mr. Park merely wishes to see a documentary that challenges the mind as well as the spirit. Whisper whisper whisper whisper ... My client merely wishes to withhold lovin'. Objection!

'We're agreed then - no more purring or tail wagging until our demands are met.'

'We'll email the new offer just to make sure you get it.'

A Young Girl And Her Pet Cat.

"It's a deal. You step out of your bubble and I'll step out of mine."
