A few years backi met a gentleman who was missing a leg. We sat down at a picnic table for a chat. He pulled out a necklace with a small harmonica attached. I bought it from him and he said, "As long as you wear that necklace, you will never be without music." Probably not too interesting, but I thought it was kind of a profound statement.
Sounds like this might be Elvis. Sweet guy, always cheerful.Originally Posted by Brian
On our first non AI visit to Negril, my wife bought a bracelet from Elvis, and got his "lifetime guarantee" on the purchase. He told us that the bracelet would last a lifetime and if it ever broke to bring it back and he would replace it. Upon our return home, my wife snagged the bracelet and broke it. Being the frugal person she is, it was placed in her jewelry box and was to be repaired at a later date.
About a year goes by and we are back in Negril taking our first stroll up the beach and we stop in to see Elvis. He doesn't remember us and goes into his sales pitch and mentions the lifetime guarantee. My wife tells him that she bought a bracelet last year with the lifetime guarantee and proceeds to pull it out of her bag in two pieces. As he sees the broken bracelet a look of shock came to his face that was soon interrupted by hysterical laughter by the two other vendors set up next to him. The male vendor was pretty easy on Elvis, but the woman was relentless going on about how she told him over and over his guarantee was going to come back to haunt him one day. After the laughter subsided my wife then proceeded to pick out a new bracelet that she bought from him instead of asking for her free replacement.
"Upon our return home, my wife snagged the bracelet and broke it."
Most places, that would void the warranty :-)
