April 2000 - Can You Be More Specific?

From Jeffrey J. Brookner of Morristown, N.J. (Riker, Danzing, Scherer, et. al.), this exchange following the attorney's question concerning "why the witness closed the special-finance department at his car dealership."

A. It was a pain. The department was a pain. It was different from what we're used to, not our kind of business necessarily.

Q. Okay. When you say it was a pain, can you be more specific?

A. A pain in the ass.
