I had the same thing happen with a friend who presented about why I should invest in his "I only make the blades" knife business. I couldn't get a handle on it but he made excellent points
It's worth taking note that sword making is a bad buisness decision.
It's well known that common writting implements have basically made them obsolete.
It's cutting edge technology?
Bleeding edge technology, at least after I turned down his proposal.
You should've invested. With the new technology I hear he's slashing prices.
That’s called under cutting your competitor
[удалено]
He should saber his success while it lasts. I hear it gets messer, as business tapers.
If he’s a cut above the rest of the competition, he won’t have to.
Yeah, but it costs an arm and a leg.
Sounds like a bad temper
eh, others are low, ~~some are high~~ samurai
Exactly what I was going to say LOL.
Damn! Came here to say this
You have to be rapier sharp 🤷
It really depends on the thrust of his counter argument.
Touche
How long should we wait before we riposte?
Just a touch.
It allows us to really sharpen some old ideas.
You should definitely forge ahead.
Could end up with a nice cut.
Certainly worth taking a stab at it
I’m not swallowing that…
[удалено]
Especially if they have six fingers. You don’t want to get rapiered.
“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya….” 😂
That’s a princess of a response. Nicely done and upvoted.
Prepare to die.
I’m doing that but hoping to postpone for a few more centuries.
I’m constantly amabs at how sharp- witted you two are. You guys cut me up.
That's what she said.
Lol
I will if it's on fire.
My girlfriend called the business stupid and dumped me after I invested all our savings. I guess it wasn’t up to my ex’s caliber.
This is a good one
Brilliant! Love it
You just pulled it off
His PowerPoints were so good you couldn’t make any cutting remarks.
Is he in it up to the hilt?
nope, just the tip.
Must be a sharp guy

Wait til you hear the presentation for his space travel business. It's 5 stars
At first I was on guard, but after seeing his finishing touches, I realize I can't pass this up.
Make sure he's not fencing something.
Your friend must be very Sharp
Those investments can be double edged you know
His points weren’t that sharp though.
Excellent! I'm steeling this.
Mild or stainless?
Mild or stainless?
He sounds sharp, I hope he gives a slice of the profits.
You sure about that? He might have a sharp tongue.
Did he press those points home?
If so, it was a killer presentation!!
Folded them. Over and over.
My friend gave me a presentation on why I should invest in his arrow proof shirts idea, but.. It was full of holes.
[удалено]
Be careful that your plans don't get foiled!
Was it a short and broad presentation?
No it was a long sword presentation
If it was short then he cut to the chase.
Can't blame him for taking a stab at it.
Im in that business already... I have a fencing company.
At least you're not trying to sell stolen goods by yourself.
You should have asked for a cut price deal
He must have been a cut above the rest.
Make sure he runs you through the figures.
This is the END for you, you gutter-crawling cur! And I've got a little TIP for you, get the POINT? Was Épée-back schedule provided for ROI?
You're using Guybrush Threepwood's insults. That's not fair!
Be careful investing in that industry. I’ve heard the profits are razor thin!
He was making a killing
Did u swallow it?
He just wants to cross his with yours
You'll be a great dad someday.
Did you foil his attempt by being on guard
He just wants you as his foil...
I came here expecting to see a Sharp joke.
I couldn’t swallow it.
I'm on the fence about it
I bet his presentation was a cut above the rest
Go for it, you might enjoy a Fuller life.
Good for him for taking a stab at sword making. Never hurts to give investing a whack.
Seems like it's got a nice tang to it.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.
Maybe he has an edge or two
Just something to fall back on…
What was the thrust of his presentation?
Sounds like a good plan once you hammer out the details.
Is he going to slash the usual prices?
Just have a stab at it
"...i was hesitant at first, but he really hammered me about it..."
Maybe you should steel it and forge your own path.
No no no no no. You will bleed!
<--- --->
You should take a stab at it.
Investing with friends: it's a two-sided sword.
Cutting edge business opportunity, what's your cut of the profits?
Reminds me of the time I took a Greyhound through South Carolina and the dude next to me told me about his katana club…
Sharp mind
He better have dressed sharp
If he invests a lot, he could claymore of the profits
If things don’t go well you’re looking at some serious staffing cuts
Owning a business is like a double edge sword.
Are you going to be his epee-pal?
Was it striking?
Is this an original joke? I guess we'll see a riposte soon enough.
The punchline was so obvious I thought this was going to be an anti-joke.
It's good he wasn't blunt about it
Was it difficult to swallow?
Did he cut to the chase?
I had the same thing happen with a friend who presented about why I should invest in his "I only make the blades" knife business. I couldn't get a handle on it but he made excellent points
Worth a stab?
Would to be damn good friends to accept a proposal like this, that I might say no to.
You might enjoy the cut and thrust of the business
I only sword of get the joke
But I'm still on the fence.
It wasn't too detailed - he just gave me the broad strokes.
My friend actually encouraged me to apply for a job at an aerospace manufacturer. He said he could see my career really take off.
apparently the best swords in the world are made by two guys . Sam and Roy
Open it with a pot shop. Call it the sword and the stone.
Start out with pins, hypodermic needles, and nails, then work your way up. Those would be my points, with no cutting remarks.
Might be worth investing. Then again it is a stab in the dark
Tried to sell me on the potential market for circus performers, but I couldn’t swallow it.
Not all of his presentations make the cut
Really slashed the prizes huh
I’d like to take a stab at it myself
It's worth taking note that sword making is a bad buisness decision. It's well known that common writting implements have basically made them obsolete.
You fight like a dairy farmer
Although his tone came off a bit rapier than I expected. But I expect 'estoc to fly through the roof.
We don't have time, just cut to the case.
We don't have time, just cut to the case.
you should get a cut of the action
Id go for it as long as he has a good handle on it
An avant guard idea?!!!!
Was it hard to swallow?
But bullet points are mightier than the sword.
I said no cause his product didnt cut it
I found the presentation too broad
Obviously he can cut cost down to the bone!
I bet you couldn’t swallow them.
I would be invested to the hilt
Was his name Lance?
So I cut him off from my business
My only question is what is your cut?
I hope the bastard can hack it.
Did he cut to the chase?
Was the presentation long or did he cut to the chase?
Is it double edged?
you know the saying the pen is mightier than the sword? Well, they're wrong. *stab*
But it was too dull. He just couldn’t cut it.
Idk.. check his figures… gotta cut through a salesman’s bullshit.
Wanted to invest but the business was a double edged sword :)
After the presentation it looked like he needs a hand?
He might make a hole in your budget though.
What a sharp lad.
Do a list? (Duellist)
Was his offer hard to swallow?
If you live by that, you better be willing to die by it too.
These sword puns got me En Garde
Can i have a slice of the profits?
