Taking the "Con" Out of "Contracts", 1999

 Item

Nine or ten run-on clauses later, you finally run into the period, look out the window, and are greeted by downtown Sarajevo. And some of the words they come up with surely can't be English. In order to be an asset to yourself and your representation, you've got to know what it all really says.

1 audiocassette, sides A and B.
