Bass has condensed the entire 1800 hours and 15 years of field
experience into one individual two hour telephone seminar.  He sells
upwards of eleven systems a day which means he's on the phone for
twenty-two hours.  The last three customers of the day figure his
snoring is "static" or a poor connection.  They spend their time
"troubleshooting" their phones.
