I'm going to capture and take hostage all of those price-slashing jerks who are ruining our industry. See the logic? The Mañana Man is "normal" so that means I'm rational. Get it? If I take out the price-cutting printers, the rest of you can get profitable pricing and everything will be okay.
Here's what I've done so far. On November 11, 2003, I captured Leo Pappappadago, owner of The Greek Guy's Offset Printing in Tarpon Springs, FL. Leo has been killing the Tampa Bay market by leaving the paper cost out of all estimates. This has consistently enabled Leo to undercut competitors' prices by 40 percent. Leo has not made the payments on his presses to Massive Capital Corp. for the past 23 months. Massive is already awash in repossessed equipment and is hoping that Leo will make a payment sometime soon so they won't have to write off a big loss when they ship his equipment to China.
