Tim Waite and the Wine Industry

My roommate, Tim Waite, had to be at work this morning at 5am. One of his bosses (name changed to Larry) the previous day had put in a huge order for wine that was selling off the shelves like little debbie cakes in Mississippi. In Tim's business the wine salesman will frequently build displays. For example, Larry built a Christmas tree display for his wine to sell quicker. But sometimes rival distributors will take down all your wine, use your display that you spent hours building and put their wine on the shelf.

Well Tim's boss Larry does not like it when this happens. They were in Brookhaven this morning and a rep from another company had destroyed one of Larry's displays (not the first time). Larry knew exactly who did it. Tim and Larry walked into the store and the other rep had the gall to walk up to Larry and say,
"Hey man, are you ready for Christmas?"
Larry did not say one word. Just walked up to the guy and punched him. Knocked him out cold.

Larry and the other rep were escorted out of the store. Tim hid around the corner and was able to finish the the orders for the day.

Happy Holidays
