One of my favorite comedy routines is Bill Engvalls "Here's Your Sign". Engvall describes people who ask questions to which the answers should be obvious, and in the process, Engvall declares these people to be stupid. Engvall then metaphorically gives these people a sign declaring their stupidity to the general public.
Any Realtor (Newbie or Seasoned) has at one time or another run into someone who is deserving of a "Sign". Then I started thinking about the quote "A Wise Man Can Learn From A Fool"
So the next time you run into a "Fool", use the experience to y our advantage. Below is a series of quotes to help you on your way.
"A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.""
