Thank you for the dollar!

YOU TOO CAN GET RICH!

All you have to do is place one tiny classified ad in the right paper....

I used to live in a one bedroom apartment, until I was captured by aliens, and given an anal probe, afterwards..we shared a cigarrete, and the aliens told me how to make money!

You can do it too!

I have an easy way to become rich. Here's how it goes:

I run adds asking if you want to earn $1,000 dollars a month for the rest of the year. Then if they do they call the number and tell them to send us $13,000 dollars. Then every month until December they get $1,000 dollars in the mail. Then as an freebie I send them a brochere on how to lose weight by eating less food and exercising.

I'm pretty sure that taking advantage of stupid people through the mail is a federal crime.

Ahh but see.....

Thats where this ISNT illegal.

The arguement is:

Your providing an "actual money making technique"..merely showing everyone who asks....how to do it yourself.


Silly, aint it?

Not worth the legal risk. It'd be safer just to put the following ad:

Please send $1 to the following address. You will get nothing in return. Nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Less than something. No products, promises, services, or guarantees thereof. Except my gratitude.

If you tell them clearly and up front, then nobody can legally fault you.

The title is 'How to get one million people to send you a dollar.' Then he shows you how to get one million people to send you a dollar. You don't need any fine print.
