See payment in movie clip below. Thanks for being the consultant on this one Raviji. Bob's idea was a good one, you do admit, but I t think you are saying the return on the investment might be a bit low....I know he has many other superb ideas percolating though, on that turkey farm he's living on and I hope he continues to share :)
