Excerpt
My father occasionally goes shopping for an automobile, and I usually go with him. However, I flinch at the thought of inevitably encountering the salesmen, especially the smooth-talking car salesman, Joe Shark. Joe's aggressive sales techniques and his brilliant business mind set the bait for his sales traps. The used car lot is Joe's territory. Dressed in a sport coat and plaid pants, he stands erect with his arms folded across his chest and peers through the showcase window. His sharp eyes scan his territory, searching for his next prey. Spotting a trespasser, he bolts out the door and greets the potential customer with a phony smile and a hearty handshake. As he introduces himself, he pats the customer on the back as if they were old friends.
