A friend, who shall mercifully go unnamed, has sent along some of the product of his over-active mind in light of the recent spate of mergers and take-overs. He advised that he wanted me to be able to invest in these new entities so that I could reap a fortune:
The coming together of...
-
Hale Business Systems, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller Brush and the W.R. Grace Company would result in: Hale, Mary, Fuller, Grace.
-
Polygram Records, Warner Bros. and Zesta Crackers would yield: Poly, Warner Cracker
-
3M merging with Goodyear results in: MMMGood
-
Zippo Manufacturing, Audi Motors, Dofasco and Dakota Mining will bring us: ZipAudiDoDa
-
FedEx being expected to join with its competitor UPS would bring this: FedUP
-
Grey Poupon and Docker Pants are expected to become: PouponPants
-
and, Knotts Berry Farm and the National Organization of Women would produce: Knott NOW!
He offered up another that I thought just a bit racy. It had Victoria's Secret merging with Smith & Wesson. I'll let you finish that one.
