A SMART PERSON ask HOW MUCH & HOW LONG?

If you're not proficient at something, perhaps you should learn to barter.
When I was in high school I worked in a shop that specialized in Italian cars. Alfa Romeos mostly, the occasional Ferrari came in but I was quarantined from them.

An old "off the boat" Italian man would hang around the shop a lot and he told me "Ya know, the Japanese don't allow hammers in their garages. You should never need to use a hammer on a car." I realized he was full of shit immediately, but learned later in life that he meant that things can be done without smashing or beating on them if you take your time and use your head.

Knuckles always get smashed now and then though.
