Village Fundraiser
« on: October 29, 2007, 10:29:33 PM »
I'm thinking that we're all probably ingenious enough to figure out how to raise money from other people rather than digging into our own pockets.

So here's my idea:

We send an email to everyone in the world (OK, already, I'll restrict it to just those who actually have email addresses).

In the email we'll say something like this:

"My poor cousin's brother's son-in-laws foster daughter's nephew is dying of leukemia so if you send money, we will send you $5 billion dollars from Nigeria along with a Huge Penis Growth pill (note: not a Huge Pill but a Huge... um, you know...).  At same time, you can invest in the following stocks (list all the UV stocks here); an additional $5 billion dollars can be made by adding your name and address to the bottom of the list as long as you send ONLY $500 million dollars to (insert my name here).  If you want Gingsu knives, that will be $19.95 extra."

There.

Did I leave anything out?

What about something like Subservient Chicken?



You could go in front of a webcam and for a donation of $1.00 you have to do what people type.

After 200 times you'll have enough to give to the village.
Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

Yes, we got everything we deserved.
