My name is BO. Ti-BO

I thought it was an urban legend but it turns out to be true: there is actually a tailor from Hong-Kong calling civil servants to propose his services.  Today, he called me. I felt soooo special. I felt like I was James Bond (yes, little is enough to make my day). I now belong to the secret society of people being called by the tailor from Hong Kong. But, as Josh and Mindaugas pointed out immediately, I haven’t been called by the Chinese broker proposing amazing investments. There’s always a higher level, you know.

  1. The “Hong Kong tailor” (actually there are many of them) is in marketing frenzy right now. Two calls at HOME this week. How the hell did they get the number…? I asked, and the answer was “I bought it from another Hong Kong tailor”. This has been going on for fifteen years now. You’ve got to hand it to them for persistence- I’ve never bought a suit.
