"When I first got a call saying I was wanted by American Express, the first
thought I had, was, 'oh my goodness' they're finally coming after me...until
I checked my records and realized no, that would actually be Visa; so the good
news is that I'm going to use the payment for my speech tonight to finally wipe
out my debts with Visa, and begin running one up now on American Express. I want
to add that if for any reason I'm not paid within 30 days for my services tonight,
I'll be adding an extra 18% interest charge for every month they're late."
What People Are Saying
"Wow! I knew you were going to
be funny from hearing the speech on the phone beforehand, but our people
really loved it! It was hilarious! Thanks Harry. It was perfect!"
-- Mary Anne Kristan - Director/Proposal & Response Ctr., Cingular Wireless
"I can see why you are referred
to as the "King of the corporate put-on." Believe it or not,
following your performance and after you had already divulged the fact
that you were a comedian, I had one attendee ask me very seriously
exactly what behind the scenes work you were doing for Chevron. The
fact that you fooled an audience comprised of almost 100% lawyers is
all the more remarkable. I am pleased to report that you received a
grade of A+ from your audience."
-- Neil J. Fletcher, Senior Counsel/Law Dept. - Chevron Products Co.

delivered to us that exceeded any motivational pretext of our meeting. I would
highly recommend you to anyone."
