Kevin,

Nice catch, #1700 on an FBA thread.

Found this link on the jokes thread:

theonion.com

Now how can we at FBNA cash in on this latest fad? Granted, it's not as easy as swallowing goldfish or stuffing fat freshmen in a Volkswagon, but...

Kevin: You forgot to report that I *REALLY* don't like parking valets who take my keys AFTER I have parked my car in an open parking lot, then do nothing other than turn it around in the same space, and then expect a tip when I come to retrieve it. Then, I get *REALLY* mad when I discover that the act of turning my car around in the same space where I parked it required the parking valet to adjust the seat so he could be more comfortable during his 7 seconds stay in my car, thus destroying the months of adjusting I had done to get the seat exactly where I liked it.

Fortunately, the waiter believed me when I told him to 86 the bell peppers. Otherwise, that whole scene could have gotten VERY ugly.

It was obvious they didn't know who they were dealing with. I guess they hadn't seen my picture in the latest Fortune article on profitting from the "TED Effect".
