book excerpt
Ticks Inc. was the brain child of Mr. Morton Forge back in 1978. He had wandered into the woods one day, just meditating on the levels of existence of man. What does man really know or do with his existence on this planet. Is he here to merely live and die or does his carma mean that he has a much higher calling. Then suddenly a small little creature crawled up his leg and stuck his head into Morty's leg. "Ouch", Morty exclaimed. "You've got a lot of nerve, who do you think you are anyway?" Brushing the tick off, Morty got a terrific idea! "Why not raise Ticks and sell them to unoccupied countries."
So that's the way Tick's Inc., became a reality!
