We have a winner. Who would have thought that closing a business that rely 100% on people walking in the door and buying things for a month would cause financial problems.

Coming to a town near you and me?

Owners who cannot save their business would do well to find some way to piss off their local ANTIFA cell and get them to do their dirty work.

I can still remember Myron Cohen telling that joke on the Ed Sullivan show. It is a classic!

Fortunately...no “Frenchies were fried” in any of these cases.

Two weeks ago at the Ft. Myers Florida Airport 4,500 cars belonging to the rental companies burned. I bet that is one big insurance claim.
Parked cars for 60 days are a attractive fire hazard.

Circa 1978 at the center of Bordeaux is was most lovely. The next day I was going offshore on one of the very few oil explorations in offshore France. It was a good gig. Most unfortunately British Airways sent my luggage to Norway. Apparently the tag came off from my bag. Thus they opened my bag and saw my expense account. My home base was Stavanger Norway. All my luggage went to Norway. Thus I was working on an oil rig with a most expensive bond street suit. I did need to buy a hard hat and hard toe boots from the rigs supply. British Airways paid for this. It was most amusing to see a man with a bond street suit with a hard hat on and steel toe boots just doing his job

British Airways made it all right but it took several months. I went to their unclaimed luggage thinking I could find mine quickly. It was really hundreds of yards of unclaimed luggage. I just looked at it and said “forget it” oddly some months later they sorted it all out and gave me a proper check for my minor losses.

British Airways is one of the good guys as is British Caledonia which no longer exists. British Airways bought them to assume their air routes. I in the past would fly to Nigeria every 28 days due to my work in the oil field. I would fly to London on Brannif and then to Lagos on British Calidonia. Brannif went bankrupt literal when I was in in the air between Lagos and London Gatewick.

I got to Gatwick and my ticket on Braniff was worthless. I had no way home. British Caledonia in a stroke of genius honored those defunct and worthless tickets of Branife of which they did not get one damn dollar. They flew me home. For the next two years of working in Nigeria they flew me from Dallas to London and Lagos. I refused to accept any other airline. They took care of me and thus deserved my total custom and alliance.

These burned-down restaurants are those whose breakfast menus specialize in various types of french toast.
