Opinions

(From The Yahoo Avid User's Group -- As Told By Stephen Bayes)

ANDRE BETZ used to cut all the VOLKSWAGON ads. He started as a kid from New Hampshire in the big city of Boston. Eventually he got good enough to go to New York City, where he took the clients with him.

Anyway, Andre had a saying that actually worked with difficult clients -- you just have to say it right.

He would swing around in the chair and say:

"Opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one and yours stinks."

That would shut them up pretty quick. Later he would tell them when he was done and they could look at it.
