SlinkyWorld (tm) was founded in 1996, and is the world's largest
entertainment industry related to cardboard and slinkies.
CEO Jennifer Mayer has been running the business smoothly and
profitably, but Head Janitor Nick Camilleri has just sort of been
goofing things up in the background. (Not a picture of him, above,
but the child is probably just as productive.)
