Whitlow Smoke School Fees:
Presented by the Smoke Commander
Hey!
This is your Smoke Commander in your ear. Can you see me with all of this
camouflage on? Let me take a quick break from the duck blind to tell you a
story. Now we cooking with peanut oil and speaking Duckanese. I got a good case
of the depression recession blues. Now the Democrats they blame it on the GOP.
The GOP says uh-uh buddy, don't blame it on me. Times
are tough! The entire world is
struggling with severe economic crises.
I feel it, you feel it, and we all feel it every single time we buy
ammunition if we can find any. We all feel it when we gas up
or buy groceries down at the Walmart. I remember when gas
was 30 cents a gallon, a loaf of bread cost a nickel, and you could buy a shiny
red Chevy pickup truck for $500.
That is not the case anymore!
Everything has Cadillac prices!
Back in the good ole days if you drove a Cadillac, then you had the best that
money could buy. Just like my 1988
Cadillac Brougham, Whitlow Smoke School is the best that money can buy.
We are the Cadillac of smoke school!
Others know that we are the best and they try to copy us and imitate what we do.
The facts are that we are the choice for customer service.
They don’t bring you a positive attitude.
They don’t bring you donuts and coffee.
They could care less about the weather conditions you test in.
They don’t keep you hydrated.
They don’t cook lunch for you.
All they want is your hard earned money. You get what you pay for.
If you want that Cadillac, then you may have to pay extra for it.
Just remember this: You are
not paying just for a certificate.
You are paying for environmental experts to prepare you for inspections and
assist you if you have a violation that may put you on CNN and in a court of
law.
