Below is a email train between a salesman friend and I which I thought I would share. The background is that, having grown up in and around New Orleans I know how dangerous it is as opposed to my bud who came from around Tulsa. He had told me about going to New Orleans verbally before this email train and I passed on some of the standard horror stories. He smiled not really comprehending what I was saying.
So we pick up with the email....start on bottom and work your way up.
And I also learned NOT to go in a bar on Bourbon Street with a flag flying outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a good weekend.

I saw 1 person on the sidewalk (really) just shot-dead as a door nail, a dog with a cigarette, and a bunch of other stuff you just couldn’t make up.
You weren’t kidding.
