Given your background you might get a kick out of this...........
A 3M rep was touring the field with the local jobber rep one day. We're standing in the middle of the shop when he says "So and so down the road (another shop) isn't as lucky as you to have a nice down draft booth....." Apparently the look on my face was more expressive than I realized when my jobber rep looked like he wanted to shrink into the floor. I looked at the 3M guy and said something like "Luck has nothing to do with it! It takes a lot of effort to get to where you can afford one, and a lot of effort to make it pay for itself." The guy did show his back peddling ability pretty quickly though...........
