Merger Mania A number of years ago there was a proposed merger between Fairchild Electronics and Honeywell Computers. Rumor had it that the new company would be called Fairwell Honeychild. There is a merger in the works involving Polygram Records, Warner Bros. and Keebler. It will be called Poly-Warner-Cracker. There has long been a rumor that W. R. Grace Co. was going to buy the Fuller Brush Co. and Mary Kay Cosmetics and then merge with the Hale Business Systems. This would result in the new mega-corporation Hale Mary Fuller Grace. Don't forget the failed merger between Yahoo and Netscape: Net'n'Yahoo. It didn't work out because they were afraid they would have to relocate the headquarters to Tel Aviv. Others in the works: 3M & Goodyear = mmmGood John Deere & Abitibi-Price = Deere Abi Honeywell & Imasco & Home Oil = Honey, I'm Home Denison Mines & Alliance & Metal Mining = Mine, All Mine 3M & JC Penney & Canadian Opera Company = 3 Penney Opera Grey Poupon + Dockers Pants = Poupon Pants Knott's Berry Farm + National Organization of Women = Knott NOW Crabtree & Evelyn and Apple Computer = Crab Apple Swissair & Cheseborough-Ponds = Swisscheese Zippo Manufacturing & Audi & Dofasco & Dakota Mining = Zip Audi Do Da ========== This joke was brought to you by the funnystuff mailing list at http://www.pbbt.com/ .
