<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thornton, post: 7320084, member: 105289&quot;]Two stories. First, in the early 90&#039;s Pepsi, as I remember it, had a campaign and TV commercial, where you bought Pepsi and saved points for gifts.&nbsp; In the commercial they stated that you could trade, something like 250,000 points for a Harrier Jump Jet.&nbsp; Well a man did just that, actually bought points from other Pepsi drinkers, turned them in and claimed the Harrier.&nbsp; Pepsi declined claiming it was just a joke and should have been obvious to any reasonable person.&nbsp; Well the courts didn&#039;t agree and ordered Pepsi to fulfill the obligation, which they could not.&nbsp; It was illegal for a private citizen to own active military aircraft and Pepsi had to provide equal monetary compensation.&nbsp; Second, a well to do gentleman who had made millions over his lifetime passed away.&nbsp; His three, ne&#039;er-do-well, sons expecting to receive a windfall from his estate were shocked when the will was read.&nbsp; In order for them to receive their inheritance each was required to place the sum of $100,000 in his casket before burial. This as you might guess ticked them all off.&nbsp; The youngest son decided to deliver the required sum in $1 bills.&nbsp; The middle son, did one better and delivered the required sum in rolls of quarters.&nbsp; The eldest son, being a bit wiser, walked up to the casket, removed the bills and quarters.&nbsp; Took out his check book and made out a check in the amount of $300,000.00 and placed it in the casket.&nbsp; Upon seeing this, his siblings questioned him, saying what do you think your doing?&nbsp; He replied, &quot;if he can spend that money where he&#039;s going, that check is good&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
