Slartibartfast and Randy D go into an import/export business together.

The one who is in Australia ships Vegemite to the country of the one who is in the United States, while the one who is in the United States ships peanut butter to the one who is in Australia.
  These two business partners are expected to exhibit due diligence and good faith in doing the utmost to assist in selling the other’s product when the shipments arrive, thereby creating the incentive to perform well on fiduciary grounds, regardless of utter distain for the other‘s national product. 


WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

    The question is the one that ends with the question mark in the description field.

    A massive increase in peanut induced anaphylactic shock incidents causes the government to ban all peanut products.

    Hey, it happened with guns ...

      Seems like some kind of underhanded scheme to acquire a lot of valuable peanut butter from me, declare it a health hazard, then turn around and quietly sell it on the black market for gain and profit while dumping a lot of useless, unsellable Vegemite on me that will sit in my warehouse and rack up exorbitant fees, sending me to the poorhouse. Danged Aussie got me again.
      I should have learned my lesson when he sold me on that policy to elevate the sub-basement on stilts to avoid flooding. Grrrrrrrrrr.

    OOOO, what could go wrong you say?  A third party could get ahold of both products and come out with their own " peanutbutter-vegemite spread," put you both out of business.

    It could happen. Anyone who could tolerate Vegemite would eat anything.

       (((Psst. When you get rich off of your idea and run away to the private island that you’ll buy using some of the proceeds, do you promise to take me with you? I won’t tell anyone because it might make it seem as if you and I planned it that way from the beginning just to get our hands on Slart’s share.)))

    I'm inviting Annie Oakley to go with me to protect the investment.  Tho thorry.....NOT.  You need to stay home and manage your multitude of restraining orders.

       Restraining orders, restraining schmorders. You know my history well enough to remember how i immediately ignore those things as soon as I receive notice of every new one.



      Make room on your reservations for one more guest, please. Thank you.

    You were supposed to keep our alliance under wraps. How can we ambush him if he knows what's coming?

    hahahaha, Annie Oakley (Jane) is one tough character for sure.  She shares my distain for stalkers.  There is no one better to share the loot with than Jane.

      “Stalker” is such an ugly word. We here at Randall’s All Inn prefer the term “lust enthusiast”.

    I prefer the term prison inmate, but these things take time.

    He should be "locked up," without a doubt with a straight jacket so he can't escape.  Then you and I Jane, can enjoy the sunshine at the beach spending the loot from our Peanut butter/Vegemite spread business.

      ((((Shhhhhh!! Don’t let on. I’m stringing her along while the detectives get an arrest warrant to take her into custody. It’s part of a deal I made at plea bargaining to have my unlicensed harem case dismissed. Don’t ruin this chance for me, Mate. Grrrrrrrr.))))

    Dreamer, that will never happen, the only "grounds" you have is from your morning coffee pot.

    Randy doesn't drink coffee. It's part of his mental condition, liking PB and hating Vegemite stem from his coffee deficiency.

      You just make sure none of those Vegemite containers are open when they arrive here in the United States, and that I don’t have to come in contact with the stuff. I don’t even want to smell it, I don’t even want to see it. I’ll handle Boss Lady Honey Dew.
