I received a very strange DM here


From "Hotfornovember6969"

I heard the alert bell on my phone go off at 2 a.m., and thought to myself "what kind of weirdo is up at this ungoooodly hour?

It got worse.

They said they couldn't sleep thinking about the mid terms, and all the super hot things Democrats are going to do, like spanking the ass off of the GOP, exposing and humiliating them for all their lies and corruption.

And then they asked me to send them a picture of my voter registration card.

Am I being led astray?

And if I am, why does it feel so good?


(This is satire, for the literalists who may misinterpret.)

I got a text from "Wells Fargo" (with whom I have no account) saying I have a pending STARBUCKS charge of $2567.12

For real. (The message) Haven't been to Starbucks in recent memory.

I suggest that you send the "sender" the link to my FAFO page.

The late Don Lancaster, author of "The Incredible Secret Money Machine" or ISMM for short, (1) talked about imaginary, or j-dollars, j being the symbol (alternatively i) of the imaginary axis of complex numbers. (2)

(2) From ISMM

tactics secret-know the difference between cold cash, J-dollars, and megabucks

Cold cash Is what you get when you supply a quality product to a known bunch of customers at a bargain price. It Is the only type of Income your money machine should seek.

The letter "j" is the engineer's symbol for an Imaginary number. j-dollars are Imaginary dollars that simply do not exist. So many start­ ing money machines end up ·chasing these ephemeral j-dollars and end up with nothing to show for it.

One j-dollar chase starts when you assume some need exists when It really doesn't. It's easy to spend lots of time and effort only to find out that the supposed market couldn't care less about what you have to offer. Some older electronic will-o-the-wisps include specialized timers for sports car rallys, ballistic chronometers, photographic shutter tes­ ters, and just about anything else electronic that "should" be useful In the photo market. There's lots of other examples. Usually, you get into the situation where the people whom you think are your market either don't have the money, do the job otherwise, don't believe you, or are smart enough that they don't need your help.

If you are Into something very specific and specialized, make sure there's enough nickels available to feed you.
Another j-dollar snipe hunt takes place when you assume something about a market that simply Isn't so.

The free ebook differs from the real one in one respect.
A cartoon is missing from the ebook.
