"Keep repainting my house until I figure out what my favorite color is."

LOL... I'm with Evilgecko... I had a boss, an eccentric Millionare mag publisher who was very fond of –

"I'll know what I want when you show it to me."
("I know fuck-all what the hell I want, but your time is mine to waste")

"Make the logo bigger."
"8.25 inches on a letter size sheet isn't big enough?"

"It didn't look like that on MY screen. I thought you were a pro?"
"I have never calibrated that $98 Dell monitor."

One of the downsides of surviving in this biz for 30 years... (EGAD)... is that you'll have heard all of these...

...more than once.
