Hey, I just stopped for coffee...

This is telephone inventor day. And for want of being two hours late to the patent office we would be decrying and breaking up MA GRAY instead of MA Bell.  I don't think Elisha stopped for coffee at Starbucks and that is why he was second, but it cost him and later Edison a bundle of money as Alexander wasn't one to let patent infringement go without a good and winning fight.

Edison obviously went on to other things. Gray? Well not so much. Anything in your life turn out like Mr. Gray?
