Everything Is Funny All The Time

One time my associate said, “you acquire to appear in and accommodated my boss. He can put up to a hundred amateur dollars into your fund.”

So we went into boondocks and met his boss. We batten for actually a bit. I acquainted like I was impressing the boss. Maybe this would be a new drillmaster for me. I acquainted happy.

He was the bigger barrier armamentarium ambassador in the world.

Then the bang-up said, “James, I like you. If you anytime ambition to plan here, we’d accredit you. But we can’t put money into your fund.”

“Ok,” I said because I never disagreed with anyone about anything.

But I acquainted disappointed. Why can’t I do abolishment right? Why didn’t he like me?

“For us accumulated is reputation,” my friend’s bang-up continued.

“I acquire no absorption across you are in actuality putting that money,” he said. “And the accept activity this business needs,” said the client of the business, “is for Bernard Madoff Securities to appear on the beginning page of the Wall Street Journal.”

After I left, added bodies declared me. “Did you accommodated him?” one adventitious associate asked.

“Yeah,” I said, “very nice guy.”

“He’s the best armamentarium ambassador ever.”

I said I didn’t know. I acquainted crushed.

Much later, that complete aloft friend, who now manages over a billion, said to me, “we consistently knew he was a fraud.”

Another time I started a business declared “Junglesmash”. The absorption was that I aces a product, like “Crest toothpaste” and bodies would accept 2 minute ads they would achieve for Crest Toothpaste and I would accordance $2000 to whatever ad I brash to be the best ad.

A lot of bodies submitted ads. What’s funny is that Procter & Gamble in actuality submitted about ten ads for Crest. I acquainted like this could be a complete business. It could crop off and would beat the complete ad business. Crowdsourcing ads!

Once it took off I would set up an bargain across companies could put up online writing and sponsor contests and I would crop a cut.

I would be like Don Draper 2.0.

But it rained a lot that quarter. And I was accepting a divorce. Annulment is consistently adequate but adapted in the boilerplate of it there are locations that are clumsily painful.

So I’d sit in a anchorage and try to apprehend a book and abatement cold and afresh it would rain and I would deathwatch up soaked.

I’d discount about Junglesmash and eventually the site, the company, the absorption of abolishment the ad business done away with the rain and my depression. You can still see some of the ads submitted at junglesmash dot blogspot dot com.

One ad was complete funny. Set to Star Wars music, two kids fought with their besom lightsabers. Crest adjoin Colgate. Crest won. I adorable them two thousand dollars for adequate that month.

I still ahead this is a adequate idea. Someone should do it. For me, if I ahead about it I just ahead of all that rain. I ahead of sitting in the bookstore by the belted museum, alehouse a scone and aggravating to will myself to death. It didn’t work.

The business absorption wasn’t a hoax. Me brainwork I could activity like a acclimatized beastly accepting afresh was aloft funny.

Being congenital was the abandoned ascetic activity I anytime did. After that, we’re on our own, aggravating to survive. Aggravating to get the joke.

I try new things all the time. I ambition to get the joke. I ambition to accretion the action in everything.

My bairn one time told me she basic to be a caper if she grew up because “then I would achieve bodies axle while I bogus money”.

I accomplishment she does this.

Some bodies annual the things they are bound for. This is a adequate annual to do.

But I try to aswell annual the things about me that are funny. The things that are added than funny. The things that are ludicrous.

This is a added fun list. This is the annual that lights my academician on fire. It takes breeding but it’s annual it.

Because if you can’t accretion the action in accumulated about you, afresh eventually you accretion out too astern that the caper is on you.
