If you could make a baby using two Deluxe brands as the mother and father. Which ones would they be and what would be the outcome?
The Eagle would get drunk and taken advantage of by Mr. Big Head and then give birth to a ugly mutt baby named Shitflyer.

Most awkward moment you have experienced with a customer.
Mistaking a very nice lady for a crazy homeless lady that is always around. She looked almost identical down to the hat she was wearing. I started to kick her out and she seemed realy confused. I quickly figured out it was a mistake and apologized. In the end it turned out ok but she was kinda pissed. Literally five minuets or less after she left the real crazy lady tried to come in to. So Weird.
