Not on the scale of there two but important to me is this one.

My dad had a friend either a neighbor or someone he worked with at Lockheed. He wanted to open a drive in restaurant and serve double decker hamburgers and asked dad if he would care to be an partner in the business.

Dad's reply was Who would want to sit in a car and eat double decker hamburgers?

The man's name was Bob Wien and the restaurant was called Bobs Big Boy.
A very successful franchise chain of popular drive ins in California.

I missed by that much.
