If he can’t live past 67 with 3.5 BILLION dollars, what chance do the rest of us have?

Medical 'science' is no where near as advanced as people think...

Agreed. It is much more of an art than a science. They don’t refer to it as practicing medicine for nothing!

One reason that Subway zoomed past McDonald’s (in terms of number of restaurants) is because the sub chain rarely respected territorial rights for franchise holders. In fact, it became common practice for the company to open a store a few blocks away when a local franchisee achieved exceptional sales and growth.

Subway ran more than a few of their franchisees out of business using that tactic.

Ever read the fine print on the Subway posters while waiting in line? Subway’s corporate name is Doctor’s Associates, Inc.

...

I believe DeLuca wanted to fund his education to become a doctor.

Wasn’t he the one who not long ago commented on how if he were in the same situation today as a young man (when he started Subway) that because of Obama and the Democrats, it would be a lot more difficult to start an enterprise like Subway because of the taxes, Obamacare, and the overall stigma against working hard and becoming successful and wealthy as a result?

...

Yes, but he started when LBJ was president, so there.

I like Subway.I like it much more than any other fast food.It's not haute cuisine but you can get a tasty meal for less than anywhere else.

At the Whataburger here, you can watch the burger flipper dude dig down the backside of his pants. I went there once, saw that spectacle, walked out and never returned to any Whataburger. I was a secret shopper at Sonic until the gal who brought out my burger had black grunge under her finger nails. Now, I cook at home. Have a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup on the stove right now. If it has any nasties in it, at least they’re my nasties.

Mayonnaise is proof of God's love for us.I go to the Stage Door Deli (34h & 8th) often and order pastrami on light rye with mayo.I'd get white bread but they don't carry it!

To be sure, the Jared scandal didn’t help prolong his days.

Haven’t seen him around town lately. I believe he’s on home detention, sentencing Nov 19.

...about as bad as the Fireman's sub joint that wanted to put mayonnaise on a hot pastrami.

That I might actually like, because I always put mayo on a hot roast beef hero. I've been putting just mustard on pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, but I might oneday try adding a little mayo on a portion of the pastrami sub. I love both mayo and mustard on a toasted baloney sub.
