Free at last, free at last, thank God oh mighty, I am free at last!"

What can one say about taking and passing the Maryland Broker's exam? I'll tell you what this one says, "Halelluya."

Seriously, can I hear it from the congregation?

After 135 hours of class, studying like it's 1992, and pretending I know what the hell I'm talking about, the little Dell workstation at PSI said "PASSED". In honor of All Pacino, OOH-AH.

(Excuse, me Mr. Darrin - but aren't you supposed to pass the Broker's exam? asks Frank Snodgrass, who - after riding a bike across the country somehow feels very empowered upon his return. Yes, Frank, I am! But supposed to and actually are two different things.)

So in honor of my test I would like to submit the following multiple choice questions from my exam for your pondering.


Question 1: What, if anything, should you do if a client asks you to join his cult, where as followers of Zuhl (see Ghostbusters), they do elaborate dancing, bake pound cakes, and celebrate the lighter side of the satanic diety that wants to destroy the known universe?

A. You accept his invitation because Zuhl followers are a protected class and there is nothing illegal or immoral about marketing to a group of people you have a common bond with.

B. You refrain from accepting his offer but accept the pund cake because it is airier than Jay Haverty's version of the same.

C. You run.

D. After accepting an agency relationship with your firm, you explain you would surtey enjoy the company of his minions as long as he buys something.
