I think I got this joke from Martha's blog:
This is a wonderful story written by Angus Skene a Toronto architect, on the history of the huge Shoppers Drug Mart Canadian chain. The Kofflers, a Romanian jewish family moved to Canada in 1895 for a better life. Leon started a self-serve pharmacy when most goods were still sold behind the counter. He became a successful entrepreneur. After he died, his 17 year old son, also an entrepreneur, expanded Shoppers Drug Mart to the huge chain it is today. Father and son seemed to have the knack of teaming with the right people, helping to secure their ambitions.
Here is a great tip to recycle postal bags from Ann. All you need is a hairdryer!

Shoppers Drug Mart is a big success. Some people are great entrepreneurs.
Success stories make for a fine reading.
Some people are good at business, whereas others are not.
I love those names. That is so funny.
Neat about the son.
I did not know that about the store, use to shop at one all the time :)
I loved the joke and thanks so much for Ann's tip, I'm definitely going to try that (if I can find my hairdryer!).
Bob is such a square

I love the hairdryer trick. I was terrible with geometry. Sigh... Didn't get the joke. So embarrassing.
