KITSAP—Just for grins, let us tell you about some of the more unusual pitches that you’ve had the honor of hearing:

Sell plots of land on the moon.

Sell a battery-powered device that you clip to your nose to keep you warm.
Print out sandwiches.
Create a new currency for the world; the entrepreneur was seeking a trillion-dollar investment.
As crazy as these ideas sounded, 3-D printing and Bitcoin happened!
