My road to riches began the day Microsoft terminated the Psychokinetic Pointing Device research project merely because of a lack of results after thirty years and my entire division found ourselves unemployed.
We were clearing the basement of potatoes (high Rhine-score potatoes; part of our research -- see THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS) when I found myself digging at a little popcorn hull of memory stuck between the teeth of my mind.
"Biff," I said, "isn't there another use for potatoes?"
"There are many uses for potatoes. You can play hot-potato with them, or make glass out of them, or french fries--"
"That's it!" I cried -- and so began the Psychic Potato Company. You may believe you've eaten some of our products today.
