Zitat des Tages über Waren / Merchandise:

The best of merchandise will go back to the shelf unless handled by a conscientious, tactful salesman.
I'm the one person who wears the words 'hustle, loyalty, respect' on my T-shirts and merchandise. My audience is children.

You're a role model for my son.'
