Papa John's International Inc. (PZZA) – When the Moon Hits Your Eye like a Papa John's Pizza Pie

Simitrol Inc. (SMRL.OB) – Choreography for Business Presentations

Years ago a business meeting might have called upon and enlisted the services of a "presentation", which consisted of a movie projector and a crude screen on a wall opposite.
