Lightbulb Easy Money.........sorta!

I would never counterfeit, if you want to do it right (make money the easy way) just electronically take one penny from every checking account all across America. Every other month, not each month you must alternate. Obviously it has some areas that could be problematic, like how to do it…….that notwithstanding if you do the math (think of all the checking accounts) and stick with the program, in four years you will have a nice little nest egg at the completion of the plan. It would be ignorant to think you would not get caught………..but who ever went after that one-penny. I know the bank would!!!!

Of course, now I will get arrows thrown at me saying I always balance to the exact penny.

Sure would be fun for awhile

Actually you can take parts of pennies from interest calculations. Always round the calculations down and move that money into a different account. If you write the program for a bank the money will add up pretty quickly.

This has been done before. The person got caught though. I think it happened in Nebraska but I'm not sure.

That reminds me of that old saying that if you take a penny, double it every day, you'll have over a million dollars in less than a month. (day 1=.01, day 2=.02, day 3=.04.......etc.)

Did someone watch "Office Space" last night on tv.

I did, it is a funny movie. I think it was on TBS or something.

Yes, I watched it and it was funny - and true in some ways. I recall my first selling job, I had a small cubicle on the fourth floor and my goal was an office with a door and windows on the fourteenth (top) floor. After three years I was finally in that office, the company was bought out and I was on the street.

I read many years ago about some guy that put an ad in the papers, "Send $1.00 to Post Office Box xxx" - He received a bunch of money. I think such ads are now not accepted. P.T. was right.

I always wanted to place a classified ad in Guitar Player magazine that said:
"Play like a PRO!
learn the secret of the PROs
Hendrix, Page, Van Halen, Vai all use it
send 19.95 to PO Box xxxxxxxxx"

and then send back a letter that says:

PRACTICE
