Has the Space Needle Collapsed Yet?

My Associate is in Seattle, doing research on the feasibility of establishing a new branch of Business Lunching. I'm anxiously awaiting his report.

But I have to say, I am a bit disappointed in my friend. There was a time when he was a leader of the movement. Now he is just a follower. Before I moved on to the Land of the rising weight problem, I spent many years in Seattle. I love the place. But it is not the most hospitable to our cause. Most people are not looking for liberation there. They are already free.

Tokyo, on the other hand, is ripe for change. I mean, come on. This is a place where people are so miserable that they are actually throwing themselves in front of trains to escape their bleak existences. Wow. Sad.

What they need is a kind word, and a gentle hand to guide them out of the darkness. They need someone to show them a better way to thrive in the 21st Century. That is where I come in. It's all about the menu. And demanding the best service that you can't possibly afford. Without some "creative financing," that is.
