A new enterprise beegins . . .
25/08/15 10:02
It’s Tuesday already? Geeeeeze. This week is just flying by, isn’t it?
So it appears that, while I was gone and since I’ve been back and dealing with other things, my Illegitimate Nephew, Kevin, and his Estranged Sister, Felonie, have been buzzy plotting and planning once again to turn Great Grandma Gee Gee’s delicious Honeychew Krisp cookies into a global Snack Phenomenon.
Oh geeeeeeeeze. I thought we’d already been through this, but evidently, Kevin reassured Gee Gee that, with his, Bert’s and Felonie’s help, they’d make her cookies all the rage and make her rich and famous.
I know Great Grandma Gee Gee doesn’t really care about all that, but as she told me last night when I was asking about all this, she said, “Well, you know dear, the little ones do seem very excited about this and I just want them to bee happy.”
I’m just not sure how it’s gonna work out, though.
Yesterday, they got a letter from the Beeureau of Commercial Cookie Licensing, Permits, Inter-Hive Trade Product Registration and Mandatory Fee Collections (or the BCCLPIHTPRMFC, for short), which included what looked to me to bee a huge, long list of a bunch of forms they hafta fill out and fees they hafta pay beefore they can even get started on all this. Kevin read some of it to me, and it said:
“Congratulations on your decision to pursue the Cookie Manufacturing Enterprise listed in your initial ‘Decision to Go Into Buzziness’ Form. We applaud your willingness to undertake this effort and are gratified that you plan to offer the sort of innovative products that promise continued prosperity for our agency and our associates.
“Please bee advised that you are required to fulfil a number of logistic tasks prior to your beeing issued your final ‘Authorisation to Pursue a Product or Idea Certification’.”
He then started reading off the huge list of things they require, which included stuff like (and I quote):
“Formal review and registration application for approval of the proposed idea or product(s) must bee submitted to our agency, along with the necessary processing fees related to that application, which include but may not bee limited to:
a) initial application fees,
bee) application form processing fees,
3) pre-approval assignment of required commission payment fees,
IV) product quality and manufacturing monitoring fees,
E) Semi-Quarterly HoneyTax prepayment account set-up fees, and
6) product distribution and warehousing application fees.
All fees must bee paid in advance and application forms approved by our staff prior to commencement of any manufacturing or marketing efforts to bee undertaken by you.”
And that was just the first two paragraphs.
The whole application thing was something like 87 pages long and looked super-complicated. But, Kevin and Felonie are still convinced they can bee successful with Gee Gee’s cookies (they are the best), so they’re all meeting with her team of lawyers today to get this whole thing started.
I’m trying to just stay out of all of this, but last night, Kevin pulled me aside and said, “Uncle Georgie, you’re the best uncle in the world and I love you. Could we possibly visit about a comfortably sizeable buzziness loan?”
Oh geeeeeeeeze.
I told him I’d think about it, but I dunno. I have a feeling they’re getting into something they might end up regretting... but as Great Grandma Gee Gee says, “Life is for learning and even the worst experiences can teach us some very valuable lessons.”
I suppose she’s right, but I still have a bad feeling about this whole thing.
Anyway.
It’s gonna bee HOT out again today, so I think I’m gonna spend the day inside and watch some more Human movies so I can decide what to review on Friday. There’s just so much to choose from, ya’ know?
I hope everybody has an amazingly refreshing day!
I'll see ya' later!
