I know, Phil, I was just agreeing with you on how smart Henry really
was.
If anyone ever knew the consumer well, it was ol' Henry Ford.

Phil, whether Ford wanted it or not, it would have eventually been built.
Just like the V-10s, V-12s, etc. were eventually built.
People are always in search of the better mouse trap -- and the faster
car. It's what makes the world go round.
I'm sorry that you don't realize this, but then again, it's not
surprising, considering who your role models are.

True. But you can't fix stupid, can you?

Better yet, to be successful and lucky, eh?

Sure it does, and more times than we'd all like to admit.
p> It comes from well planed thoughts.
Many well-planned thoughts turn out to be huge mistakes, Phil.
p> Ford was a success because he applied the principles of success. One of these is
desire, 'knowing what one wants.'
For every Henry Ford who applied his "principles of success," there are a
thousand failures.

Actually, Phil, I think I'll have a few swigs of Booker's bourbon
instead and try to forget this day ever happened.
I urge you to do the same thing.
