No, it was a manufacturing company. Did Fedex have a similar shakey start? I'm sure that many of today's highly successful companies had start up problems. And that many more failed.

We just have to hope Q is one of the success stories ... and only time will tell.

I totally agree with that ... waiting is the toughest part of any job. Now I know why death row inmates sometimes resist another stay of execution. The waiting ends up being more inhumane than the actual execution.

I beg to differ ... I was commenting that Colonel Mustard was hung on a meathook in the freezer, but I did not say he was killed by that meathook. Rumor is that he was killed in a very bizarre way (no details) by a very deranged person (identity not revealed) using a very large ...

But I've asked others not to post unsubstantiated rumors, so I should not do it either. I guess you will just have to wait for the "news at eleven."

By the way, if you like the game of CLUE, there's an old movie called CLUE that is pretty enjoyable ... in my opinion, of course, since I cannot prove that it was enjoyable for everyone.

1985, more than 20 years ago.

When I was younger that would seem like "ancient times", but now ... well, I have sox older than that.

Martin Mull as Colonel Mustard (a war profiteer)
Lesley Ann Warren as Miss Scarlet (a prostitute and madam)
Colleen Camp as Yvette, the maid
Bill Henderson as the Cop

Jane Wiedlin as The Singing Telegram Girl

Sorry for the off topic, everyone.

Thanks, MM. Is that part about Fred (the founder?) going to Vegas with the payroll true?

By the way, the company I worked for survived primarily due to WWII. When the war started, they were able to get some contracts for small parts needed in aircraft production. When the war ended, they were sound enough to expand and grew their primary product line into a Fortune 500 company.

So who says "War is Hell" ... it saved many small companies from shutting down (sad but true).
