Saving the Day with Lawyers
There’s a bar at the end of my street, and my mom liked to go there to watch people play pool. She didn’t drink, she would just sit there and watch and drink Diet Coke. Apparently, she struck up a conversation with one of the guys one day, and he kissed her on the cheek and then played a great game of pool.
So after that, he’d kiss her on the cheek before he played pool. For some reason, the guy who ran the bar didn’t like my mom and banned her from the bar. When I was in college, I was on a road trip and I saw a Canadian bar chain with the same name and logo.
I looked it up when I got home, and sure enough that bar chain had been in business for longer than the bar had been using that name and logo in the US.
So I emailed the chain with pictures of the bar and all the info for the bar. They emailed me back to thank me and forwarded it to the legal department. Six months later, the bar had a new owner and a new name. Smerps
