Hey "apple fest" Is coming up. And we have one tavern, that makes for some great entertainment while sitting outside watching people come out .
And when we get bored, we can head back to my place to watch chickens lay eggs or take pot shots at the magpies with the BB ***.

Any interested investors?

Hi, I think you might have to split the profits with me because my first wife might have part of that name trade marked. [not hitch] We better do a real good search because APPLE might have already patented it. Even though they might have stolen it from Sam*sung.

You're weird. And you have a dirty mind. Do you perchance work as a censor for CBS?
And why exactly is "***"— which is a perfectly acceptable synonym for a donkey— a naughty word in the first place? Could it be because they mate outside their own species to produce mules?
Hmm… that could be it. Exogamous mating is perverse, nay, even perverted. We should definitely protect our children from any exposure to the concept until they're at least eighteen.
Forget making grassphalt. My post-retirement career will be as a teacher, educating college freshmen on the proper usage of all of the naughty words we've protected them from during their childhood.

I think they may teach you more than you teach them.
I am applying for the job as treasurer of Witch Hitch—I think you can sell shares to initial investors so long as there aren't more than 500 of them without that pesky SEC bothering us. We may have to pay our executives (especially the treasurer) a lot to secure experienced and powerful people such as me before we can get into production.
Jason as head of research (scientists don't get paid much because they do it for the love of discovery) can get you guys together to make the mock up. To relax, you can go to Cedaredge's one traffic light and watch it change—it features green, yellow and red and is just about the most exciting thing in town since the soda fountain closed down.

I work for cheap but the rent on my barn will be high. And your office space in the hay loft will cost a little extra because of the view
The Soda Fountain is opening for Apple fest to clear inventory of antiques and John is thinking about opening the Soda fountain on weekends only during the summer...
Lots of places opening and closing on main street. Well it is only 2 blocks long...

I won't need to rent the barn. I will be accepting payments for stock and paying the executives. I have no need to have anything to do with the fake production. Fake production can be very successful—look at how successful the fake news is on the Comedy Channel.

So I think the history lesson here might be --
The English came to America, some with Scurvy and some with Scurvy and Rickets. When they got to America, the "Mericans" , being poor spellers, (eg colour/color) mispelled the Rickets as Rivets. Thus the beginning of dreaded mental confusion state known as Aluminiumitis that there is no known cure for.

Well, onions also contain Vitamin C and will prevent scurvy, but limes taste better.

If the Brits had decided to eat onions instead of limes, it could have changed history. At least a different nickname.

Why have bicycles not progressed to variable speed belt drive from the antique, cantankerous chain drive that is such a pain?

Ok, saw this on FB and fell over laughing.. I always thought the stick figures or turtles or what ever on the back window to depict families was kind of silly, Kind of like the "baby on board" sign in the 80's

The belt drive, when sit up properly, should be positive and clean.
So many times on an adverse, I have thrown a chain trying to downshift resulting in oily fingers for the rest of the day.
The "shift-on-the-go" belt drive is on every ride-on tractor mower today.
