Much has changed since I first started selling friedchicken out of a roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentuckysome 88 years ago. Nowadays, you've got telephones youcan take with you anl.where you go and automobiles thatrun on electricity and drive themselves.
What hasn't changed over all these years, however, isthe 11 herbs and spices that go into my delicious, world-famous Original Recipe@ Chicken. So when the folks in themarketing department asked me for my opinion on who thenext Colonel Sanders should be, I gave them the sameanswer I give them every time: "How many times do I haveto remind you jack-a-ninnies?!? There ain't no ColonelSanders in this world other than the one you're starin' at!"To my surprise, instead of narrowly dodging the cane Itypically heave at their heads, they stopped and agreed withme.
So, without further ado, I am pleased as peach punch tointroduce to you the next Colonel Sanders: ME! That'sright. No high-falootin' Hollywood lookalike this time, justthe original Colonel Harland Sanders here to sell someOriginal Recipe Chicken to all the fine folks of this country.
