Before investing the family grocery money in lottery tickets and Jack Daniels, I asked my "Cam-Ree" (family car) if I should do it. About 15 minutes later a "Canatoona" (can of tuna) washed up on the beach in front of me. It spoke to me as follows: "Buy BB stocks. They're all really, really good, but the best ones don't waste valuable time reporting to the SEC. Try and find one that is in two totally unrelated businesses, like cat poop and software. And failure in some old tech business like hydrocarbons is always a sure sign that the company will succeed in high-tech and become the next Intel or Microsoft. Look for really cool inventions that most people would dismiss as impossible, like car engines that run on sea-water, a device to extract gold from dryer lint, or fully-automated solutions to the Y2K problem. Press releases that mention China or West Virginia are good, too. Lot of people in China. Lot of coal in West Virginia. Oh, and skip the Jack Daniels this week, dude. Try "Hite's Old Tyme Moonshine-Style Sippin' Likker" for a change of pace instead. A big bottle should wash up right here in another 15 minutes or so. Aloha!" With that, the "Canatoona" was picked up by a wave and floated out into the ocean. By the way I have pictures and witnesses to this event. I've had to avoid lawyers and debt collector groups who insist that I'm special and want me to give talks to our ancient judiciary. What do you think the odds are of some thing like this happening on request to anyone Fleetwood Mac or Foreigner???? I followed the Canatoona's advice, and I now have many solid reasons packed in water for being where I am, Jeff, but I also have to thank the spirits. Can you lend me $500 for bail? I should be able to pay you back next week, or the week after at the latest, I hear big news is coming soon!
