    The first million dollars is always the toughest.

    A new Little Caesar's just opened up in my area and business has been crazy since day one.

    Wow. That's kind of sad.

    Considering the rise in for-profit universities, I compel you actually open Whatchamatta U. Credits unlikely to transfer.

    I've always wanted to make a company that sold modified sporting equipment. I want to play basketball on a 20-foot hoop. I want a lighter, helium-filled football I can throw 150 yards. I want a golf tee that spits the ball straight up when you stand on a button, and you swing at the ball horizontally like a baseball to tee off. I want to play tennis on a lumpy court, so you never know which way the ball will bounce. I want to play at a mini-bowl course -- like mini-golf, except for bowling (one lane per hole, with one lane involving bowling through a clown's mouth and knocking over the pins on the other side, one lane is bowling over a ledge and hitting the pins on the bottom, one involves bowling into one of several holes, with the bowling ball emerging on the far side of a wall and either coming out a strike, or off to a side; etc.)

    My dad and I once attached side walls to our ping pong table and developed a new set of rules that allowed for banked shots.

    So there you go. You give me a cut and I give you my permission to use my ideas.

    How much do I have to pay for this one?

    Give me 5% of profits and a free lifetime pass to play.

    Ah, that's too steep a price.

    See you in court.

    Naw. The hazard insurance premiums are killer.
