Client humor

Via Adverbatims, a real gem of a site, I found this quote:

#381– "If I give you approval, what can I still change?"
(Client, Marketing Manager)

Clients aren’t the only people who say funny things, but the above quote cracked me up. I’ve run into clients who’ve made some pretty interesting demands over the years.

Once, when I delivered a new ad for a struggling restaurant, the chef/owner changed the copy at the production site. Although he was facing his second bankruptcy with the same restaurant and he was paying me big bucks to come up with a new advertising campaign, he insisted on changing the text at the last minute.

The restaurant went bankrupt a short while later.
