If you started a business what would it be?

[Zef]

Escort agency with the stupid wood as prime customer.

[charlesbahn]

Apres Ski with lingerie store at a high end ski resort........I'd call it "Apres-Ski et Vous"

[Pazuzu]

When I get stinking rick from MY fantasy personal business that I'll open, I'll fund all of YOUR fantasy businesses...


I will open a series of German style Doner Kebob shops near drinking districts and college towns. Open from 3PM to 3AM, small counter style. Cheap rent, cheap materials, one or two items on the menu, and get stinking-ly filth-ly rotton-ly rich selling manna to the masses.

If you've never had a Donor (German style) then you haven't lived life. Those that have (many of you have I'm sure) know that they would sell like crack on almost any American street corner.

You ain't the first person to think of this. If it could be done in this country, it would have been long ago. Drinking laws and health departments would never allow it.

BTW, I was at one such place in Xi'an, China in Jan., and it was illegal because they had the grill on the sidewalk. They saw the cops coming, moved the grill into the restaurant (really smoked up the place) and then right back out onto the sidewalk once the cops had passed. Try that here.

Bah! I'd get an actual storefront, but it could be narrow. Can't be any worse than the burger/taco/hotdog joints I've seen.

The cops and health department will leave me alone because I'd supply them with crack. You? You get none, because you dissed my fantasy business

What you might consider is a walk-up take-out window. When I lived in Germany there were two of these place on our way back to the dorm, stumbling home drunk from the bars. One was called Schnell Imbiss bei Max and it was like a hot dog trailer. The other was a decent restaurant, but had this walk-up take-out window for the drunk students to grab a schnitzel or wurst on the way home. God, I miss those days.

Out here, we call those taco trucks.

The head or our local PCA has his own pharmacy.

He has a 2 acre lot on a lake in town, 4 car attached with 4 car detached garage.

He owns a 2000 Boxter S, two 951s, a Cayenne S, a Lotus Elise, a 535i, has a Tesla on order, but drives a DaeWoo to work.

He also says that WalMart, CVS, and Walgreens make deals with the HMOs and drug companies that he cannot make, and squeeze him out of more and more business (he can't afford to give away free antibiotics, for example).

You'd think that people would get sick in the same kinds of ways year after year, but he also says that his income is incredibly variable. His best year ever? The year Viagra was introduced. But drugs get taken off the market or go generic, and his income shrinks. New blockbuster? He does well.

[red-beard]

So "up and coming" drugs are the best?
