If it floats, if it has wheels, or if it has boobs, you definitely are going to have problems

And so very true....!!! I love it.

Actually that was a derivation from a sign in our dental office, "I can save your teeth, or I can save you money; but I can't do both." I'm sure you have customers that want a first class job for not much money. Or they disregard your advice and go with the cheapest alternative and expect the "patch job" to last forever.
