I notice today that Google celebrates the inventor of the zipper
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gideon_Sundback (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gideon_Sundback)
which leads to the Talon Co in my hometown - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talon_Zipper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talon_Zipper)
which caused tons of tool and die shops to spring up here in Meadville and a training center to open (just the one back in the day, more now) which I found my way into after being fired from my line cook job at Applebee's
[laugh]
So I guess I owe it all to the zipper.
Funny how things go.
You got fired from Applebee's? [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

The GM wasn't quite right in the head. I never did find out the reason. I was out back with the smokers. I suspect it was because i wasn't actually smoking but I was there.
Who knows.
I later became friends with a guy who turned out to be related to Mr Nutty and he confirmed the nutty-ness.
I'm cooler than him anyhow

For some reason, I picture ML as the Dane Cook character in "Waiting..."
