Business Opportunity

So I'm out of commission today ... in bed with some type of fever, congestion, no energy thing. But that gives me a moment to fill you in on a great job option that you may not have heard of yet. To quote Jerry Seinfled, "you may have already won some very valuable prizes."

Here's the information you need to succeed. I was walking Noah around the block, and this elderly lady stops me to chat. She's very talkative, and we've spoken once or twice before. She and her husband drive matching cars, but they actually have 3 total that match. Maybe the third is a backup in case #1 and #2 break down. They're both a Lincoln Town car, or a Buick, or a Caprice Classic ... or whatever car that is that people two generations ahead of us drive. It's one of those big cars. But honestly, they have 3 matching ones. And one of them has the license plate "Winning" in case you ever seem them around town. I'm not sure if that's Bingo they're winning or Harrah's.

So the job opportunity ... she asked me if I needed some extra cash. She even told me that I looked like somebody who could succeed in this position. At this point, my adrenaline is really pumping as I may soon become someone who also drives a gigantic car. However, after considering my limited free time, I mention that I "may know of someone" in order to deflect the attention. This was not a good move.

After she mentioned that she only needed 30 minutes (which means 300 minutes) of my time to listen to her program, it was all downhill. I tried multiple times asking questions like, "Is it sales, or what kind of job is it?" The reply was always, "Well, I just need a pencil, paper, and 30 minutes of your time in order to show it to you." Now, don't get me wrong, this could be an excellent opportunity to have people hang up on you when you call them. So if you find me trying to hook you up with this lady, you'll know that this is a legitimate opportunity for an extra part-time job.

What is the moral to this story? The next time an old lady tries to hustle you into her pyramid scheme ... ask her if she bought those matching cars through this pyramid or from a regular job. If the money came from a regular job, then stick with your regular job. If the money came from the pyramid, then problem solved. You don't want matching cars, so why take the job.
