I just had a really good idea for making some money. We go to Wal-Mart and get a whole bunch of those 2 liter bottles of soda that cost like 33 cents. And some coffee. About 5 of those cans, or maybe those things that look like metallic cubes with the coffee inside. And some of those Little Nancy Deluxe Brownies with Petroleum Frosting. The ones that are 5 cents for a whole box full and they will last until the year 3000. Like a whole full box of those. Then we go to the area where they have the paper plates and the plastic cups, and you get a whole bunch of those. And some forks. And napkins. Should be like about 10 bucks or maybe 11, max. Then we buy like 10 shares of CISCO or 5 or whatever the budget will allow, and then you go to the CISCO factory wherever that is, I think in Northern California in Silicone Valley. Anyway wherever it is, you go there and you go to the receptionist and you say, "Hi. I'm a shareholder. We are going to do an EBAY Shuffle here. "Turn off your website for 24 hours, and when anybody calls, just tell them to come over and we have all the brownies and the soda and forks and stuff, say it will never ever ever ever ever happen again except maybe next week and the week after that and the week after that, because somebody we don't know screwed up and it's not our fault have a brownie and some soda or would you prefer coffee?" And then the stock goes right to 120 and you sell! Home Run! What do you think?
