Miranda said: I have to say: This was about the best thing I’ve read all week. Hilarious. :0) I’m still laughing…
Thanks, Miranda. At least someone appreciated it.
I’ve heard rumors that the ACES hired Carl Rove to consult with them behind the scenes. I heard they bribed Tax Girl with a Penn State pork pie signed by JoePa, and threatened Apron Lady (what was her name?) that they’d expose the real lead reports for the Chinese buttons on her kids aprons.
…scheming Aces…

I forget to mention that all the high hourly fees generated by the Class Clowns eventually go back to A Students, namely the lawyers with even higher hourly rates that bail them out.

BTW: Michael… Did you see today’s post with the comments from the founder of Barista’s? Barista’s sad story is like a PR boon to Legit Franchise Lawyers. If only they existed… Or at least EXPERIENCED franchise lawyers.

Not at all rubbing noses, just stimulating conversation and celebrating the wins in the territory of the competition. Just healthy fun!

Thanks for making me laugh at work!! I appreciate it!

As you know, Michael, Genius is pain. I shall pretend that Darlene from http://www.interviewchatter.com wasn’t just rubbing my nose in our defeat. I never did like those “Aces” but I’ve got to live with them.

The “Aces” team were like those goody-goody teachers pets… the A students in the front row. The Pros were like the class clowns in the back row, shooting spitballs, making creative drawings and noises… always in trouble for drawing attention to themselves.

In the real world, the A Students end up hiring the Class Clowns at enormous hourly rates to help them be different and draw attention to themselves.

In the real world of entrepreneurship, which would have won: the team with more information, or the team with superior innovation?

C’mon, Pros. I’ll buy you a Sam Adams.

Michael Webster said Alright, I give up. How do I vote for this article?

Good question… Thanks for asking. Well, you could offer to defend me pro bono when Jim Koch sues me… That would be a vote of confidence…

OR you could CLICK HERE to go to at TaxGirl.Com and vote for Franchise Pick in the right sidebar

Sheesh. No wonder we’re losing!
