      "Get rich quick" scheme

      I've just started going to Uni after a 3 month stint of sitting on my butt doing absolutely nothing. I'm extremely frustrated with this. I didn't realise how good I had it.

      I wish to return to my days of doing what I want. The only thing that is coming between me and resuming my slothful lifestyle is [b][i]money. The best way to remedy this problem i'm sure we have all gathered is to GET RICH. Easier said than done.

      I don't want the "Invest money and work hard for 20 years" approach, it takes too long and leaves room for things like stress, ageing, and "accidentally" having a family and a mortgage or two. Nope, not me. The only way I think to make a lot of money quickly is undoubtedly a "Get rich quick" scheme.

      Before I start to think up my own, I was wondering if any of you had any ideas. Input is greatly appreciated.
      The best times of your life should not be when you're still so young, or else you'll live a life always dreaming of the past.

      That's just because that is what they want us to think, and what they oblige us to do. In the present moment I, too, am working and studying. Why? Because as of this moment I don't have a choice. I am completely dependant on the system. But it won't always be like this, I won't allow it.... Most posibly I won't be able to do much about the situation in general, but I will at least retreat myself from it.

      The best way to be able to not have to follow the scheme of life they have drawn for us, is to get free. It is our only hope.

      I'd be more inclined to bow
      Powers that be would have swallowed me up
      But that's more than I can allow...

      hard work. i hate to say it because sometimes it takes a while to get the rewards but they're there. -- prostitution would work until you contract a few stds and you start to rot away down below. -- get rich quick could work, but then again it could backfire and bankrupt you. -- marry an old person? that's a double wammy, first you have to live with yourself, second you have to... ... ...you know... to an old person... *shudders*

      Here's what you do... you open up a business.. adult toys to be exact.
      All you sell are dildos. You recieve payments only through checks. You of course tell your customers that there will be complete discretion so you give them a front name for the business. You then send them a letter saying that the business never got underway... that the dildo manufacturers pulled out of the deal you had with them and your business went broke, so you return them their money... only... the return check will no longer have the front name. It will be something like, Rosko's Dildo Heaven. So now you've got customers who have to go to the bank to cash in a check that puts them in an embarrasing position in front of the teller... they won't cash them and the money is yous...

      I "borrowed" the idea from a movie... just don't have money to get it underway...

      If you live in America, just sue someone.

      Yeah I love that movie. To be honest though I really didn't remember the speech. I knew the general idea so I made it up as i went along. I do remember the "real" name... the one they would use for the customers not to cash in the checks, but that is way too offensive.
      By the way... why do they keep calling weed "gear"??? Is it a cockney rhyming thing or just a general term for drugs??? I remember in Trainspotting they would also call heroin gear.

      or you could go to the welfare office then use the check to buy drugs, then re-sell the drugs to children who think they're getting a good deal but in all actuality your selling for 2x the street value. while you're doing this join a construction crew (don't worry you're not going to work, i promise). now after you're legally working for the outfit drop a cinder block on your foot. yes it will hurt but only for a little while... find a doctor who can vouch that you broke your foot and it pinched a nerve. now you're "paralyzed" for life. this is where you sue for all the outfit is worth. while you're suing you are on workmen's comp. you live off of this until you're old enough to collect social security... and now you're a made man! just relax for the rest of you life.
