\u201cMeet Brandon.\u201d Albert said as he started to tell the story.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the story about how his life got flipped-turned upside down\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWait!\u201d Charles interrupted.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThis isn\u2019t a political story is it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot really, but some people find politics in everything, so just sit right there and I\u2019ll tell you how Brandon rose fell and rose again\u201d Albert replied.<\/p>\n

In West Philadelphia, that was where Brandon was born and raised, on the playground was where he spent most of his days. He was chill, and relaxed and all cool.\u00a0\u00a0Sometimes he was shootin\u2019 basketball outside of his school.\u00a0\u00a0But then a couple of guys who were up to no good, started making trouble in Brandon\u2019s neighborhood.\u00a0\u00a0He got in a fight and his mom got scared, and then she said \u201cLet\u2019s go Brandon you\u2019re moving with your family in Delaware\u201d<\/p>\n

While in Delaware, he got decent marks in school, and eventually went to the University of Delaware and Syracuse, where he caught the eye of the Dukes\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cWAIT! Like the Dukes of Hazzard?\u201d Charles interrupted and asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I may?\u201d Albert pleaded and continued.<\/p>\n

He caught the eye of the Duke brothers of Duke & Duke Investments. They hired him as an intern where he quickly rose through the ranks by aggressively climbing the corporate ladder.\u00a0\u00a0Sure he got in the faces of some people, and he stepped on people on his way up.\u00a0\u00a0Some rode with him by grabbing on to his hairy legs.\u00a0\u00a0Others just watched.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Brandon made it to become the President of Duke & Duke Investments.\u00a0\u00a0On this particular morning, just before Christmas, Brandon was getting ready for the day with the help of his hired butler, Col. Cole Mann, who Brandon just called Colonel, Man, Coleman, Butler, Bernie or Joe. As he looked at the newspaper he said<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a hunch, that something is going on with marshmallows\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight, your breakfast sir\u201d Cole Mann said<\/p>\n

\u201cColonel, I have asked you many times.\u00a0\u00a0I want ice cream for breakfast\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know sir, but sadly you don\u2019t have the freezer room.\u201d Cole Mann replied. \u201cWill Jill be joining you for dinner tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, yes Jill will\u201d Brandon replied.<\/p>\n

Cole Man drove Brandon to his office, where all the employees greeted him with a hasty good morning. As Brandon entered his office, he turned on his ticker machine and said \u201cMarshmallows! I knew it, I knew it!\u201d<\/p>\n
