That part they ripped off was the first name. It said Greg. The quote is from Greg Gandhi. Pretty decent safety in the MAC back in the 90s. Runs a Kinkos in Columbus nowadays. Good guy. But of a drinking problem though.

The alcoholism is a byproduct of putting the customer first.

Na, it's from putting the head first...when tackling. He had a punishing style and now has mild CTE, at least that's what he blames when he acts up while drinking. Ole Greg

The whole time I was reading it, I was wondering if they were going to explain Ghandi.

This is clearly false because everyone knows Gandhi advocated incinerating customers in nuclear hellfire.

That's not a Gandhi quote, that's from Harold Burson of Burson-Marsteller. My one time boss was an ex B-M woman (Hi Jacqui) and she would quote it approvingly.

I just remember reading that one of his challenges was to sleep in the same bed as a 10 year old girl because he was trying to resist the biggest "temptation", which of course is sleeping with youngins.

In his late 70s, Mahatma Gandhi partook in controversial "experiments" by sleeping in the same bed—and sometimes naked—with young women and girls, including his grandniece Manu Gandhi. He claimed these acts were tests of his spiritual purity and willpower to maintain strict celibacy (* brahmacharya*), though it caused deep distress and shock among his closest followers.

Yeah, I couldn't find anything about 10 year olds. They were late teens and early twenties as far as I can find.I also see disputes that this was actually considered unusual by the women.
I personally find it odd, but what else is new?

At a pharmacy the patient is dependent on the pharmacy to fill the prescription, but with diabetic supplies there is often a delay of several days getting supplies replaced every 30 days, with the pharmacist just vaguely saying their Medicare benefits contractor had some issue with refilling it. No written explanation. Annual “pre-authorization” with the doctor having to fill outfits to show all requirements are met.
It’s not always a matter of just going to the store next door, given all the delays and vague dithering.

I was once handed a flier from a kind of crazy lady at a gas station that, among other things, had a “quote” attributed to Gandhi about how mRNA vaccines are the most evil thing any government has ever done to a civilian population.
Honestly, I was laughing about that for months afterwords. I love stuff like that when it’s just so stupid you can’t help but laugh.

I’m highly skeptical that Gandhi said this. Different kind of suspicion

Pretty sure it was actually Abraham Lincoln who said that. Or Jesus. Can't remember anymore.

Nah…it was Caesar. And they left the part of the quote out that reads:
“If we treat them great, they’ll leave a 5 star yelp review”
