At one time in my life I briefly thought I could get rich selling Prudential life insurance. I was in training with the sales manager, and we went to call on what he thought was a sales lead. We went back into the sticks and pulled up in front of a run-down mobile home. Outside there was an expensive bass boat, a nice truck, a four-wheeler and a motorcycle.
We were invited in and with strong misgivings sat down in tattered, dingy chairs. What little furniture there was was old, worn and wobbly. No curtains, just blinds. Linoleum floor. No decorative items except a nice gun rack with a couple of thousand dollars worth of guns. The house was unexpectedly reasonably clean and uncluttered, however.
