    If someone disagrees with you on the internet it is a matter of honour that you call their family jizz guzzling cumsluts that supported hitler.

    But Germany was in a depression! They had to make money somehow!

    Charging money for their services would have been a start however (your family) didn't, and they hated puppies. GRR YOU ARE SO WRONG ABOUT (Item we are discussing)!!!!!11!!!1!

    My freshman year I received a letter telling me that a professor of mine had recommended me for a job interview. Since I in fact was basically fresh off of the turnip truck and curious which professor of mine would have recommended a mousy little thing like me for anything I showed up, and discovered that I would be selling textbooks directly to households in the upper midwest.

    After much soul-searching I ended up turning it down. The guy in charge let me know I had let both him and the team down.

    Oh god. I had a Primerica interview in college. One of my otherwise quite brilliant friends bought their bullshit completely and I think he gave them my name. In retrospect, I should never have gone to an interview before I knew the name of the company, but in my defense I was poor.

    Giving the wrong answers to every one of his leading questions was kind of fun, though.

    I was so desperate for an internship after sophomore year I took a Primerica job and suggested it to 2 of my friends. Looking back, I'm embarrassed for not only doing that shit, but putting it on my resume.

    Interesting fact, after I told those guys to go fuck themselves, I got a call from them 3 months later trying to recruit me. I guess their records suck as much as their business.

    Oh god we had a neighbor who kept trying to sell us that Xango shit. I felt kind of bad for them really, they were obviously hurting for money and were desperate.

    Didn't feel bad enough to pay $40 for juice though.

    I ran a pyramid scheme in grade school.

    I sold sheets of stickers for one dollar.

    They cost me fifteen cents a piece. I in turn sold them to my "team mates" for 50 cents. So they could sell them for a dollar.



    For a 7 year old, I was like a Mecha-Jew-Pimp

    i had a co-worker about 6 years ago talk me into going to a "conference" about wholesale distributing. i gave it about 20 minutes, including the time it took me to get a plate of roast beef and fixins and a plastic cup of wine. he described this service that installed a fridge in your house with a door to the outside that a delivery guy would load with groceries you ordered online. i was like "fuck yeah, that's gonna be big time".

    name of the outfit was quixstar or somesuch. i told my friend i had never heard of them, how long had they been in development. he said a long time but they used to be known as amway.

    last thing i said, "i'm goin for a cup of coffee".

    Well I sure would like to open my fridge one day and see a hobo just standing there, helping himself from the other side.

    my dad used to do amway. my mother used to to herbalife and had made fun of him for doing amway.

    luckily I see the problem inherent in working for somebody for yourself employing people working for themselves
