Where are the jobs, Tan Man? Day One
Bait-and-switch

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bait-and-switch

In retail sales, a bait-and-switch is a form of fraud in which the party putting forth the fraud lures in customers by advertising a product or service at a low price or with many features, then reveals to potential customers that the advertised good is not available at the original price or the list of assumed features is different. The use of this term has extended to similar situations outside of the marketing sense.


OK, so your newly selected office hasn't started yet, but you best be in some planning meetings and having press conferences to announce your ideas pronto. Times a wastin, tan man. Otherwise, one might think you pulled a fast one on the public. You know, like maybe you thugs had no intention of helping out with the job situation. You know, like the ole bait and switch that thugs like to pull.

1. "Tan Man" is just wrong on too many levels. DO NOT use that term.
He isn't "tan". He has a bathtub filled with chemical orange Kraft (corporate sponsor) Mac&Cheese Oompa-Loompa powder and he rolls around in it naked with a 12 year old boy six times a day. I made up the 12 year old boy part, but the bath tub definitely exists.
