“Correct. Question #2… Where was Mr. Schultz having coffee when the initial idea to birth his version of the Starbuck’s franchise?”
“Ahh….”
“Five seconds, remember.”
“Ahh… Milan… Milan, Italy.”
Correct again!
“Question #3. Who was the original owner of the Starbuck’s franchise?”
“That’s an easy one. I have seen him cry on TV! Jerry Baldwin.”

That made me laugh! I could hear that radio caller so clearly (I think the caller needs less caffeine, though). Well done.

Funny! I love …”You have won a chance to compete” …….sort of like “you have just won”….but you really haven’t won anything..Yet. There’s always a stipulation to really winning!
