Makes you think

About 9 months into my banking career they made me a collector. Back then you had to collect loans before they let you make them. About the time I was collecting doing some very distasteful stuff. Dealing with some real .. you know. Had people want to fight, life threatened.
About that time some got put rocks into. Cardboard box and made a fortune.

I don’t understand the box of rocks?

Pet rock. Capitalism at its finest. Lemming buying power at its stupidest.

Ever try doing collections/turn-offs for a utility company? ...a box of rocks? I don't get that either. :confused:

In the early 70s some guy put river stones in a card board box with some straw and called it a Pet Rock. Sold millions and millions.

Here it is. Think about his cost.

Beanie babies, cabbage patch dolls, pet rocks. People paid stupid money for all of them. People got rich easy.

Others worked hard and stayed poor.

Doesn’t make sense. Life isn’t fair.

I got a birth certificate, my dad got an entry in the family Bible. Still looking for the guaranteed but I don't think it exist.

Hah! Today you can pay NASA to name a star after you. How many billions of stars are there - just in the Milky Way galaxy alone?

There's a sucker born every minute.

Rocks are also great for breaking windows in a town named Mayberry, particularly if your last name is Bass! :)

Before i joined the Military I acted as a collector for Montgomery Ward Co. Some very interesting encounters were had. Not a job for the weak at heart or timid.

I hear that commercial on one of the AM radio stations that I listen to. Usually along with the droopy dingdong stiffener meds and lawyers looking to make a buck because it ain't your fault that you got busted for driving drunk...

I told the cardiologist if he found a heart I would loose my job

I hear the 'Mood Ring' is making a come-back.

The best growing chia pet is the Obama one, the head is full of fertilizer! :)

Dies that mean that the Biden one would not grow from lack of nourishment?

Perhaps. If you shoved Biden's brain up a gnat's ass it would look like a BB in a boxcar.

 

[Watertender]

How about a Chia Bill Clinton? It comes complete with a bong base and written denial of anything you can think of

Remember the Oobie? A plastic "egg" you put messages in and folks just passed them like notes in class.

I got a star named after my wife at no charge! Can't believe they charge money now. I guess for expenses though...
