The scene: A warm summer evening in Southern California. Mr. Mike, Vice President of Team S&M is standing in a theater parking lot next to a large gas station that has just closed. He is about to get off work as a bodyguard for a Legendary Rock and Roll Group (which shall remain nameless...), when he is joined by Team S&M co-founder Sir Conrad I Picklebutt III.
As the two of them are discussing plans for the evening, a car load of teenagers pulls up. The driver pokes his head out the window and says... "We’re here to see the second show, how much does it costs to park.?" The boys look at each other; simultaneously, a smile comes to their faces. "Yea, Sure... That’ll be ah ... Four Bucks!" says Mr. Mike. " OK" says the pimple faced driver as he gives Mr. Mike the money, "Where should we park?" "Oh... uh... over there in the Gas Station parking lot. Park anywhere you'd like." answers Chairman Picklebutt.
As the boys watch the car full of teenagers parking their car, the Chairman exclaims, "Y'know, this could be entertaining..." Just than a second car full of teenagers pulls up. "That’ll be four bucks, park in the gas station lot, anywhere you want." Mr. Mike says forcefully. "OK, here you go." says the driver.
So, for the next 45 minutes the boys operated "The Unofficial Team S&M Memorial Full Service Park-a-Rama", featuring the lowest real estate overhead (zero...) in the history of parking lots. The teenagers were happy to find a place to park close to the theater, and the boys found it amusing that perfect strangers would give them money for just standing around, talking and pointing. Of course, in hind sight, it was a felony, but we’re pretty sure the statute of limitations has run out, so it’s safe to talk about it now.
