Desperate for a sell
I saw this article on the Consumerist.com. Creative, but not very moral.

I can picture the desperate "sales counselors" driving a van to this guy's place, getting out, kicking down his door, duct taping his mouth and binding his hands and feet, picking him up and throwing him in the van and slamming the door shut to drive him to the gym, then waterboarding him or giving him a swirlie in the locker room until he put his signature on the gym contract...
Hopefully no personal trainers were involved with that fiasco...

I guess the salesperson was a little short on their quota and decided to get a little creative.
Sad but really funny.

I applaud the salesman's initiative, though he still should be taken out back and beaten with a rubber hose.
