What Would You Do For An Apprenticeship?


Sean Philips is quite the taskmaster:

Mr. Atlanta/Alan, an applicant for an apprenticeship with Sean Philips, got this “What Would Sean Do?” My Little Pony tattoo done by Sean’s wife, Rianne. This type of ass kissing goes a long way.

Mercifully, Alan got the apprenticeship. And a good thing, too, otherwise we might have been hearing about this story on the local news.

    Just so we can all be clear, Mr Atlanta ASKED for a “What Would Sean Do?” tattoo, and was even willing to pay to get it done. (Which of course he didn’t have too). It was not something he was told he had to do to get the apprenticeship, although, the ass kissing definitely gave him brownie points!
