If I read this correctly--
Papa John's International, Inc. Kentucky 2008 $22,235 training reimbursement
Papa John's International, Inc. Kentucky 2008 $7,000 training reimbursement
Papa John's USA, Inc. Kentucky 2008 $25,000 training reimbursement
Papa John's USA, Inc. Kentucky 2008 $100,000 training reimbursement
That's $154,235 for "training reimbursement" (at 14 cents a pizza, that's 1,101,679 pizzas)

I love when I find a link to good information. Thanks.
