Wow, where do I even begin with this "Magnificent Jerk" character? I've had the pleasure (or should I say, displeasure) of crossing paths with individuals like them in the past, and they never fail to leave a lasting impression. https://startups.snapmunk.com/brooklyn-ny/printing/nyc-packaging-solution First of all, let's give credit where it's due. The term "Magnificent Jerk" is quite the apt descriptor for someone who manages to combine arrogance and charm in such an awe-inspiring way. It's almost like they've mastered the art of pushing your buttons while simultaneously making you admire their audacity. http://www.greenvillecityguide.com/brooklyn-ny/local-services/nyc-packaging-solution
