    That's the industry standard. Besides, it's not like she's running her own shop. She's part of an agency (a VP in fact) and I'm sure the accounting department pays close attention to how all the numbers line up...or am I being naive? :oops:

    I know someone who does accounting books and mathematic books for schools his agent takes 28%.

    So you may be lucky :D

    We don't have an agent... neener, neener, neener... :p

    ...course, we don't get a big share of the royalties, either... :(

    So you're saying, basically, that it's OK with you if I repost the Mitzsisms thread, right? ;)

    Do I do it? Do I not? Do I do it? Do I not? :daz

    come on, I've got it ready to go... :deal

    OW go on Mike, i'd love to see if she's as daft as my old mum.

    Mum used to say things like " If you drop somethig electrical in the bath you get Hydro-electrocuted"

    When doing some DIY she asked " So how have you put it on the wall?"
    Reply "With No Nails"
    Her "So how is it stuck to the wall?"
    Reply "With No Nails."
    Her again "How can you stick something to the wall with no nails? Don't you use screws?"
    Reply again "No i used No Nails!"
    "So you used Screws?"
    "No, No Nails!"
    "So screws???????"
    "No, No Nails"

    And so forth, until i had to explain No NAils was a type of glue, and believe me taht explanation took a long time to filter in!

    Well what do you expect of the Cornish?

    Oh and one more for good look, When asked where north is, she would always reply "Its always in front of your nose", and couldnt see why that wasn't true. So lesson, never go anywhere with my mother if she is reading the map!

    I PMed her to get "permission", but I think she's ignoring me. :rolleyes:

    Keep in mind that I've never posted Mitzsisms out of "meanness" or to show that Mitzs is "daft". In fact, nothing in them would show that she's daft at all (matter of fact... she's quite bright)... it largely focuses on her "fast spelling mistakes" that I personally find quite endearing. And the quotes (all of which are her own!) are quite humorous to me. :)

    Probably plotting together to take over the world. Together... they might just be able to do it.
