Default testing the pole
Is this the appropriate testing method for the "exercise pole" I came across in the outbuilding?

Ken,

You're taking the absolute wrong approach to pole testing and I'm sure you know that. No males allowed on that thing.

You're suppose to grab the closest female - under 35 (whether it be the Realtor or Buyer) and have them test out the pole.

And be sure to take plenty of pictures.

have plenty of one dollar bills on hand to ensure the pole is "tested" adequately and properly. It very often has to be tested numerous times.


"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill
