- Mike Andrews - 04-07-2007 With all the mention of beer and scotch bribes.... Many years ago I got a call from someone wanting to know what he had to do get a different (specific) number on his car. I told him M&M's worked wonders.... after the laughter I suggested he send me an email with the specific number he wanted and I would research if the number was available. The next morning a FED-EX package came from Canada with a package of M&M's.... He got the number..... but he would have anyway..... - Tony356993 - 04-08-2007 Plain or Peanut? - Mike Andrews - 04-08-2007 Well... I like the peanut, but they sent the plain ones......
