Reminds me of when I was looking for an answering service, circa 1980.
With the Yellow Pages in front of me, I started calling them.  I was
appalled at how bad most of them sounded while answering their own phones.

Also reminds me of a story about how Thomas Edison hired researchers. 
He'd invite the prospective new employee home to dinner.  If he salted his
meat without tasting it first, he didn't get the job.
