Our mystery guest would likely have said the decision to integrate your entire business and their processes on to the web is "plain as the nose on a man's face". (By the way, you just clicked on to the Tortus website from the Tortus newsletter. Thanks for visiting!) In fact, we'd like to think that if he were alive today, our mystery guest would have attributed his famous quote "you may as well expect pears from an elm" to those expecting quality leads from a print mail campaign. He also would have said migrating your business to the web is a daunting task, taking much labor, resources, and time because "Rome was not built in a day".
Our mystery guest was quite a voyager. The 4th of seven children, he sought adventure throughout his life. Although he inked "honesty is the best policy", he clearly was challenged executing his own noble thought. He was jailed numerous times, at least once for embezzlement.
Proud to be a brash, swashbuckling, warrior our brazen and impetuous mystery guest lost the use of one hand and was badly scarred while in battle. He spent 5 years incarcerated, captured as a prisoner by corsairs.
His sturdy, yet feckless, lifelong libido was on demand and reliable, providing much drama in his life. He impregnated a young woman who bore him a daughter. Then courted another young woman who he eventually married. (He did write in his Magnus opus "I have other fish to fry").
Who is this person? What did he write, what did he say?
