A dynamic company that I have the privilege of being associated with was established in January of 2001. The founder took some time last week to describe what had happened on the evening of the company's launch when hundreds had gathered to learn of the future plans. Apparently 100 $100 bills were taped to the bottom of 100 chairs. During the proceedings, the host had non-chalantly made mention of this fact by simply slipping in the information along with the scripted message.
Well, the event wound up and all 100 bills were in fact collected. However; the final 16 were collected by two boys 10 and 11 years old who hung around to do a final collection long after most adults had left the building. In glee, the boys approached the speaker afterward and asked if they could keep the money. Of course, replied the speaker. Little did the boys know the difficulty they'd have in explaining their new found riches to their mothers.
