I was presenting an electrical seminar once a while back and the inspection agency I was working for who also sponsored the seminar, was giving away a hammer drill. All one had to do was drop their business card into an empty coffee can and wait for the drawing after the code show.
After the slides were done, I held the drawing, got someone from the audience to draw out a business card...a contractor won...end of story.
Not quite!
I took the coffee can full of electrical contractors' and inspectors' business cards home with me in order to put their names and addresses in my Rolodex.
Surprise! 4 business cards from the same guy while he tried unfairly to win the drill. I couldn't believe it. The guy was a manager for a private inspection agency.
It takes all kinds!
