Ha. Should said there was a Victor Hotdog Grill that was only used once at the home of an executive for his son's baseball team picnic.

A couple we know are out of town and I was asked to take care of their pool, water the plants on the back porch, etc.
I texted him this morning that I was over watering the plants and the 40" flat screen mounted on the porch was gone and all that was left was the satellite box and cut wires....what does he want me to do? About 20 minutes later, I got a pretty despondent phone call. It was great!

great story, and yes I bit on it too.!!  How long you been orchestrating that story?  My uncle-in-law works as a meatcuter in a local grocery store.  Next April I'm putting together a story about them leaving me some pork chops.  Boy, your story is a lot better. tounge

My wife's family did bottle Coca Cola for four generations.  First in Wyandotte, MI and also Port Huron, MI.  Unfortunately, there are no vending machines sitting in anyone's basement as far as I know.  Some great old bottles that my wife and I will likely inherit though!  I also know there are a bunch of original Coca Cola trays somewhere because I saw them on Grandma's kitchen wall before she moved.
