    Yeah well, their's weren't exactly either. It was more of one of those love hate relationships I guess you could say. They hated it because I was always making them do their work over and over again until they got it right. But they loved it because I was teaching them how to do it right, making them better and better at what they did.

    But the bottom line is, architects and engineers just don't like doing things over and over again - at the time they have to do it - no matter how much better it makes them ! That's how those posters came to be. And as it happened, it was Halloween when they made them.

    It was one of the biggest architect and engineering firms in town, and they did all my projects. And one year when Halloween rolled around, and I walked into their offices, they had the entire place, the whole multi-story building, all done up in a wild west theme. From the building's front doors which were overlaid with old fashioned saloon doors, to the reception desk looking like the Long Branch, to the costumes they were all wearing, pictures and posters on the wall literally everywhere, to the president's office done up as the Sheriff's Office, and him dressed to match, to the disabled architect who even had her wheelchair done up as a conestoga wagon - the whole place was like walking onto a western movie set.

    And everyplace ya looked - there was one of those posters posted on the wall. By the time a week had gone by, those same posters were posted all over town, in every lumberyard, construction office, plumbing supply buildings - you name it if it had to do with construction, they had the posters up all over the place. And if I walked in, shouts of "there he is" were bouncing off the walls !

    I loved it ! It was good for a months worth of laughs everywhere I went :D

    Now other than the time that I wore a wedding dress, (the bride), and my date wore a tux, (the groom), to a Halloween party - that was the most memorable Halloween I can remember ;)

    And before ya even ask, none of ya gonna get to see pics of that :p


    edit - guess I should have added that I liked the wanted poster so much that I had one of them framed on stone so it would last just about forever ;)
