I always laugh at this question........

  1. I know everyone gets this question and I've come to expect it but I have to laugh everytime I call a customer to let them know their mount is ready to be picked up and they ask "how's it look?"

    Just seems like a funny questions to me, do they expect me to answer with anything other than good! I've probably asked my share of stupid questions too though, just thought I'd share my laugh for the day.

    The guy I learned taxidermy from would always answer that question with "It looks horrible!". I always got a laugh because you could tell there was an akward silence on the other end.
     

  3. I get that question a lot and I always say it is the best one I have done to date.

    I say" like crap, what did you expect?"
     
  7. Yep i get that one also. Like your goanna repley, It looks like crap.
    I get these two questions a lot also. Are those marbles.(eyes)
    The best one for me is. How do you get the brains out. I love to tell them i stick a straw up the nose and suck them out. You should see some of the faces that are made.

    I've had the question several times too, and it still throws me off. But now you all have given me some ideas...

    I always say, I think it looks really good, but how you think it looks is what is important, I am anxious to see what you think.

    I had a guy ask me this weekend if I was any good at mounting fish. I just answered, "I like to think I am."

  17. I've told a couple of clients that asked that, of especially nice deer with huge racks, "You can just leave it here if you don't want it." But they always picked them up. Drat. =)
