Found Business Card of the Day–”Petie” Rivera
Posted by TJ under 6:10
Found on the 6:10 to Mt. Kisco, stuck to the window, the business card for one Joe “Petie” Rivera, a “Real Estate Salesperson” representing Weichert.
“Petie” works out of Larchmont. Looking at his color headshot on the card, he’s a Latin man in a dark suit and yellow tie, a shaved head and a trim salt-and-pepper moustache.
All good.
But then there’s the matter of “Petie’s” email address: Goldfingers327@aol.com.
We all know someone with a “funny” email address, and maybe we even are that someone. Pimpdaddy@yahoo.com. ObamasMama@hotmail.com. TripsR4Kids@aol.com, that sort of thing.
But on a business card? Goldfingers makes me think he plays honky tonk piano in after-hours joints, or has a trusty manservant he dresses in leather called Oddjob, or spends an inordinate amount of time at, yup, Goldfingers, which dubs itself “The World’s Most Exclusive Gentleman’s Club!!!” (Exclusive, as in, no tank tops, especially if they’re ripped.)
Maybe ol’ Petie Goldfingers is completely legit. But when you spend $800,000 on a house Goldfingers sold you, and two weeks after closing, you’re standing in hip-deep water in the basement with mummified corpses floating about and some Hell’s Angel is waving the deed to the place and saying ol’ Goldfingers sold it to him a few months back, you can’t say you’re completely surprised.
Anyway, that’s our take on Goldfingers.
