Patty and I were in a Borders the other day and we decided to put on a little picto-play for the Planning Shop, entitled:

Hey What's that in your hand?

CURTAIN

INT: A Borders bookstore inside a former brick factory. The business section. Patty enters searches for a book and quickly pick up a yellow and black book.

Brian: You want to go into business for yourself, but you're not sure which type of business is right for you. Here's the book you've been waiting for! What Business Should I Start?, written by the good people at The Planning Shop.




Patty: (Unconvinced) Hmm.... But is it the right book for me? I know what I want to do. I'm a massage therapist. I didn't spend 18 frickin' months in massage therapy school just not to become a massage therapist. Got anything else?
