Place: Burger King
Lunch: Bacon cheddar stuffed burger, onion rings (w/Zesty sauce), Coke
The patty is stuffed with bits of cheddar and bacon. It's a lot smaller than I thought it would be. And not all that tasty. If I were to describe the taste, the word that comes to mind is "phony". It just doesn't work.
So yesterday at the office, a co-worker was trying to fix a jam in the copier, which actually turned out to be multiple jams. This was a doozy. There was paper jammed seemingly everywhere in the thing. I stood there watching him, offering no help whatsoever, for a good five minutes.
Eventually, he gave up and sent everyone an e-mail advisory to not use the thing until it was serviced. He titled this e-mail "Finance Ricoh" (because it's a Ricoh copier in the Finance area).
I replied back "Nothing to do with anything, but your e-mail title has inspired me to start a paycheck loan business called Rico's Finance".
Co-worker: "Sounds like a reputable establishment. Maybe it can have tanning booths too, or be a tobacco outlet."
Me: "And an oxygen bar. That's all the rage now. And of course, an authorized (our company) reseller." (We're a cell phone company with a popular prepaid service.)
Co-worker: "I know a buddy who has an old school bus. There's an empty lot down on the southeast side."
Me: "Old school bus? It could be a food truck too! And we could have shirtless tattooed guys fixing rock chips in the parking lot! And a bikini car wash! And once you've experienced all our services, we'll give you a paycheck loan to pay for it all!"
Co-worker: "You are a visionary. I am speechless."
I don't think we can just call it "Rico's Finance" anymore though. The concept is obviously far too evolved. I'm thinking more like "Rico's Carnival of Souls" now.
Imagine the franchising opportunities.
Yep. We're gonna be rich.
