I guess he would need an "Extreme Makeover" to go on "Undercover Boss". My dad was the financial controller for a large pizza chain in the '70s--they used to send him into the field to do spot checks, which was progressive IMO.

It was a well-documented technique of quality control across industries by 1940.

From the newspaper article: "I'll never go to India, I don't like to see people sleeping in the streets"

The times, they are a'changeing and the Colonel would presumably "never go to (insert west coast city)" because of all the people sleeping (etc.) in the streets

Interesting that it only happens on the west coast, eh? You’ve never seen a homeless person anywhere else?

Yes, but there is significantly more of it happening, optically, on the west coast than anywhere else in the United States. What is San Diego's unofficial name? "The Home of the Homeless". Before you flame, I spent years touring the United States, living and photographing homeless people and communities. West Coasters should really stop getting defensive and take action, if it actually matters to you all. All that wealth... So greedily spent... All those people... laying in the streets... strung out on cra..."KFC"! Had to tie it back to avoid the rule crazies. ;)
