We’ll call you. Vandelay Industries, right? By the way, folks that undress to take a dump are not given a key to the executive restroom. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by FairyChatMom \* > \*\*Let me tell you about the wonderful world of Amway… > > ow… ow… it was a joke!!! ow… \*\* **FCM** , get with the times! A prospective salesman I was interviewing told me why he wasn’t going to accept my job offer. He was going to work for a new internet company called [Quixtar](http://www.quixtar.com) . He tried to get me interested - but the pitch was too familiar. He finally told me to check out the website and I confirmed my worst fears - that it is the same company as Amway. Let me put it to you gently: Amway Changed their name - it’s now Quixtar! So if someone asks you if you’d like to hear about Quixtar - run away - run away real fast! By the way, this same salesman visited me last week, two months later, and asked if I had a job opening - it was all I could do not to ask him why his Amway business wasn’t doing well… This warning was brought to you as a public service…
