funny you should say that. Oft times, in order to break the ice...ease the tension....etc, I say, 'OK, Folks.....this is where we take the Pint of Blood!' it always gets a laugh....and people recognize that I know they are feeling nervous..... I have a couple other things I say to people to shake them out of their shock/whatever. when I put the Power of Attorney in front of them, I say...." this is a Power of Attorney. It makes our Attorney more Powerful." If they laugh, I know they are smart enough to understand the words coming out of my mouth. If they just sign it with that stupid look on their face, I know they are in shock over having just bought a car. If they stop and look up at me with a shitty look on their face, I know the won't be buying a goddamned thing, and that they wet the bed into their teens.
