did your customers ask you today about OJ's house." "Well today my people are from Romania. They are here forrepparttar World Cup. I don't think they care about OJ." "Well will you be adding OJ's house torepparttar 118238 tour?" "Probably not because he lives west ofrepparttar 118239 405. We go east ofrepparttar 118240 405 and we are so pressed for time. I wouldn't be surprised if we have some guys who point at any old house and claim that it's OJ's!" I was kidding butrepparttar 118241 reporter took me quite seriously. "So tour guides do that do they? What tour company do you work for?" I thought, who does this guy think he is, Mike Wallace?

One guy, unfortunately did not endear himself torepparttar 118243 customers with a patter of stale and sometimes sexist jokes.
