Lessons in Doing the Impossible

Meet Bouncin' Dan, the Paddleball Man. I'm sure that people told him; "No Dan, you'll never amount to anything, bouncing that paddleball all day."

To which, he replied; "You'll see. I'm going to practice, practice, practice, until I'm the best paddleball bouncer in the world. Thousands of people will watch me and be amazed." Lo, as it turns out, Dan was right. Now he has the power to crush all the little-minded people who held him down.

Meet Valentine's Performing Pigs. People said it was daft to spend years trying to get a pig to jump through a hoop. And yet . . .

What does all this have to do with cars? I've heard a rumor that Chrysler President, Tom Lasorda heard about Valentine's success in getting pigs to move, so he asked for help selling the Chrysler Sebring.
