Did you know that...
 
Taco Bell, Del Taco and Der Weinersnitzel (sp?) were all started by the same SoCal man? He started about 6 different fast food franchises looking for the one that would make him a bunch of money. Whenever he found a problem with one of the franchises, he'd sell it off rather than try to fix the problem.

I guess he finally made his mint when Pepsico bought Taco Bell.

Re: The inspiring story of Liquid Paper....
 
Dien and all,
I haven't read the entire thread, it has been a long day/night so if this story has already appeared here please chastise me only lightly.
A friend, the late Jim Stevens, used to tell the story of the "Whipper Snipper".
He said it happened this way;
An elderly man developed the machine in his garden shed, his son-in-law was an engineer and very unenthusiastic about the device and almost scuttled the whole thing. (Yes, I am editing a lot of important detail out but my fingers need some sleep).
