Where is the chocolate option? Or "I smell of cheese" option?

I've never had an agency pay late. I've had a few pay early, but none pay me late.

I charge it from day one, and start dunning procedures immediately. But when they cough up, I usually waive the charge.

Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
