I made one, and paid the $5 to own it. It's 13.1 MB, which is a little big to email..

I started again but made one for my family this time.
No-one's got back to me yet, but I think it'll make them laugh.

The one I made with my kids in it was a HUGE hit with them. They just loved seeing themselves doing all those elf antics.

Why do all car salesmen look alike? They all have the kind eyes and relaxed facial features that make one willing to sign on the dotted line.

me?

If you are asking me the answer is no.
Why would I feel superior to the 'us' =(car salesmen?)

No one who has bought a car EVER feels superior unless they bought a Porsche or some other really nice vehicle that can make one forget the pain of car payments and I only have a Ford.


edit
ps. My car salesmen did back flips for me. I found him from a tip by a coworker. I'll never go anywhere else.

I've seen them all. There are salesman that would go out in a blizzard on Christmas eve to make you happy, and salesman that would steal your wallet if you turned your back. Salesmen come in all flavors, just like... um, say, other people.

Just to blow my own trumpet - when I was working in the updates dept for a computer software company, I had a customer whose update hadn't been delivered. This was our last working day before Christmas 23 December that particular year.

He was concerned he would now not receive it until the New Year.

Yeah, it was sent out on a disc in the post in those days!

I promised him faithfully that I would drive the 4 miles to his office and drop it off personally, and I did. He wrote a letter to the head of the company in thanks. I thought he behaved much better than I did in fact, because I was just trying to get him off the phone (and it was only 2 milse from my parents after all, and my ex was doing the driving, and we'd already screwed up) whereas he went out of his way to write and post a letter.

I got a bottle of wine out of it though.
And the warm feeling that comes both from customer service and knowing you work for a company that values it. Oh, and comes from a bottle of wine all to yourself because you live with a teetotaller.

I've dealt with a couple car salesmen who's favorite flavor had to have been lemon.
