Ya know, it wouldn't surprise me at all to find out the big money players and lobbyists behind pharma also have their fingers in the fast food and funeral industries. Of course, even then I'd get accused of being a conspiracy theorist and be told that it's just smart business.............

I do remember one time in Dallas when my associates wanted some real Texas BBQ. They found a place where they said Ross Perot ate, so off we went. I now understand the expression on Perot's face. Strangely enough there was a funeral parlour right across the street.
