I seem to be on a nostalgia tour of late. I hope it’s not my life flashing before me…
In 1978 I was working as a sales rep for a trucking company, P.I.E. Pacific Inter-Mountain Express and had a client that shipped a product called “Hospital Booze.” They were I.V. bottles from which you could dispense liquor. He sold them through Spencer’s Gifts in shopping malls around the country. Spencer’s Gifts was known for a line of adult products as well. He developed a board game where you draw cards and then have to do what the card said. I was at his factory on business and he mentioned he was trying to think of a name for his new game. I suggested a title and after I signed documents guaranteeing I could never ask for another dime I was paid $100.00 for my idea.
So the next time you and your significant other are playing a hot round of “Hop, Skip and Hump,” be sure and think of me!
