Going back to an episode from a previous season. Hurley was sitting in a financial advisers office, and if I remember correctly he was the majority shareholder in a box company. Possibly the one Locke worked for. I always thought after that episode that Jack would operate on Locke, curing him and Hurley would turn the operations of the company to Locke, where he would walk in and totaly tear that little pimple of a boss he had a new one. This was probably not going to happen now because I think they are going in another direction, with hurley owning the Chicken franchise now.
