Oh sheep dip and meadow muffins! Ducks bathe most all the time, and ain't
stinkin some at all, hardly. They're also pretty technical, managing to
wade around in four foot deep water like that with those little bitty short
legs. You got to give them credit too. When they eat, they put it on their
bill.

So there your own self.

I know, but I was adding the suggestion that we might not only use the S&S
rebuilding price structure as a perceived unimpeachable benchmark and point
of departure, but also as a pre-tenderized excuse to raise our own rates to
be "competitive". No point in unnecessarily admitting that we aren't as
good as S&S, is there?
