    If I had a few b/million to throw away, I'd buy it and call it Shri's Ruth's Chris Steak House and quickly sell it to the next person who wants to add their name.

    I'd buy it from you and call it Huja's Shri's Ruth's Chris Steak House. I would immediately add Sandwiches and Chiaptis to the menu.

    To mess up people, lets bring in one more partner and throw in some more punctuaion.

    Huja's, Shri's & jgl's Ruth's Chris Steak, Sandwich & Chapatti House.

    First location would have to be the basement of 1 Xi's Belt & Road
