It is a gloomy afternoon in ACville. There is one bright spot. It is "Potato for the People" Wenesday at Larson Potato Corp. A crowd is gathered. Mostly out of respect for good ole' Charlie, the company's top salesperson and representive of the company.
It seems every Wenesday between 2 pm and 6 pm, anyone can go and get a potato dish direct from the plant. Some call it "product testing", others call it "advertising", while others say "call it whatever you want, just call me!" Potato Wenesday was a big deal for most ACville.
This was always Charlie's day, he would greet the customers, talk to them, he called it networking, most everyone thought he was trying to hook up, either way, people loved him and everyone loves potatos.
It was odd to have "Potato for the People" without Charlie, it just did not seem right. Todays dish is Pountine, Charlies favorite. Some folks are getting theres to go, but many are gathered in the picnic area of the factory. Lots of Charlies friends are sharing Charlie stories. At times you would swear Charlie was there.
There are some in ACville, that hate John Larson and the Larson Potato Corp. They hate the trucks going in and out of the plant, they hate the smell of the plant, they even have grown to hate potatos!
JL the more I read, the more i picture you as Willy Wonka and charlie as an oopaloompa. :hitting: Johnny Larson and the Potato Factory
